Chorotega Artisans of Guaitil

I am decidedly not a knickknack person, so when I travel my souvenirs must do triple duty: recall fond memories, be decorative, and serve a purpose. With this in mind, my husband and I were six days into our Costa Rica honeymoon, and we had yet to find something to document such an important milestone. But I had faith, for today we were headed to Guaitil, home to the country's top clay artisans. En route to this Guanacaste village of famed indigenous artists, we had scheduled a safari float through Palo Verde National Park.
