So in addition to recognizing all of the moms in Las Catalinas, we'd like to give a special thanks to the House Moms as well. They're the heartbeat of our homes: getting us started in the morning, keeping everything in top shape throughout the day, and always bringing positive energy, and without them town just wouldn't be the same. ![](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/5_12_9_2-383x600-1.jpg?width=383&height=600&name=5_12_9_2-383x600-1.jpg) An interesting week ahead, headlined by the culinary. On Tuesday at 6, Alma Viajera will be at the Beach Club taking us on "[A Tour Around South America](https://www.exploretock.com/lascatalinas/event/60887/viaje-por-suramerica)" inspired by Chef Gilberto's culinary travels through the continent. And if you enjoy that meal, make sure to stop by Gilberto's course "[Mastering the Art of the Picnic](https://www.lascatalinascr.com/events/picnic)" on Thursday at 3. And finally, on Sunday, [Ponciana will be hosting Brunch](https://www.exploretock.com/lascatalinas/experience/53268/sunday-brunch-at-ponciana?date=2019-05-12&size=2&time=12%3A00) as a colorful, tasty, and satisfying meal to start the day. The big event for this week is Friday night at 5:30, when the low tide sunset brings [the Barrio Barbecue](https://www.exploretock.com/lascatalinas/event/54657/barrio-barbecue), with tables set on Playa Danta for an evening of the fresh and fire roasted. There's something special about low tide sunsets during the rainy season. There's simplicity in waning sunlight playing against the clouds, the fire of the grill, and gentle waves against the shore that all remind us of the good life. ## See related posts ## [Sunday, August 11th, 2019.](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-august-11th-2019) [In this Daily: Día de la Madre (Costa Rican Mother’s Day) and the Week Ahead](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-august-11th-2019) [Read more](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-august-11th-2019) ## [Monday, November 18th, 2019.](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-november-18th-2019) [In this Daily: The Pura Vida Ride Paddle Battle and the Intrepid Challenge](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-november-18th-2019) [Read more](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-november-18th-2019) ## [Wednesday, August 28th, 2019.](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-august-28th-2019) [In this Daily: A Look at the National Parks of Costa Rica](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-august-28th-2019) [Read more](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-august-28th-2019) ## [Monday, September 23rd, 2019.](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-september-23rd-2019) [In this Daily: The Monkeys of Guanacaste](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-september-23rd-2019) [Read more](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-september-23rd-2019) #### Subscribe to The Blog, The Daily, The Newsletter, and more Additionally you will receive our occasional newsletter.
