One of the winning bidders said "my children told me that I had to win this, or else!"   The other winner told me "I am going to do everything I saw in that video."   I'm sure he will.   To quote from the song, "... this town ... is fun." - Charles ## See related posts ## [A New Perspective on Sustainable Travel: The Car-Free Movement](https://theblog.lascatalinascr.com/spring-break-car-free-in-las-catalinas-0) [ Costa Rica is one of the hubs for sustainable travel in the world, the birthplace of ecotourism and of some of the first ecolodges in Tropical America, a world leader in conservation, and a country on the leading edge of sustainable energy, decarbonization, and combating climate change. ](https://theblog.lascatalinascr.com/spring-break-car-free-in-las-catalinas-0) [Read more](https://theblog.lascatalinascr.com/spring-break-car-free-in-las-catalinas-0) ## [Best Homes in Las Catalinas to Train and Recover](https://theblog.lascatalinascr.com/staying-for-the-las-catalinas-triathlon-0) [Read more](https://theblog.lascatalinascr.com/staying-for-the-las-catalinas-triathlon-0) ## [Spending Spring Break Car Free in Las Catalinas](https://theblog.lascatalinascr.com/spring-break-car-free-in-las-catalinas) [ Today, it’s possible to be far more conscious about the environment than ever before.
