Our community lost one of its most notable residents a few weeks ago.  Her name was Gypsy Rose, and she was quite a person.  Born as Eddie, she went on to become a priest.  She lived with us as her true self and everyone who knew her admired her courage and tenacity.  She was known as a kind and compassionate soul who had a knack for finding humor in most situations.  At her memorial service on the beach, a friend  spoke of her this way.  "Gypsy was a good man, a good priest, and a good woman."  That sums it up for me.  We will  miss your physical presence with us Gypsy.  Below is our beachfront memorial gathering.

Here is that handsome couple Nathan and Don.  Can you guess which one does fabulous drag shows?  Be sure to check out our new entries on www.gayrealestatecostarica.com.

And now for a little sad news.  It seems that Liquid Lounge Genny is closing in two weeks.  The owner of the building is taking it back.  Seems there is a little problem with the rent.  Anyway, we will be losing our late night dance bar.... for a while.  I feel certain another will open up.  Just like the opening of Karma Lounge.  I know we have lost a couple of hotels over the last few years, but I personally know of two other situations that are on the horizon.  So we will make a good comeback  I'm sure.   It's just the "Circle of Life" (in the gay world)..... hit it ELTON!

Well, here is one more little picture of friends at the opening week of Karma Lounge.  This is Os, a local massage therapist and Spanish teacher; his girlfriend, and Mike (owner of a very popular hotel near the Park entrance, La Posada).
