Pura Vida!

Pure Life! That describes Hala Hazzi. Her shop, Hamaca Maya, is close to the plaza in La Penita. Hala is Egyptian, lives the summer in Toronto, and speaks fluent Arabic, English, French and Spanish....and I'm probably missing an idiom or two. Her shop is full of colorful hammocks and fun things to remind you about Mexico and what life is all about. She doesn't have a website, but here's a cute one in Spanish with animations showing you how to get into a hamaca. I can't wait for that shade arbor to be finished so I can visit her shop and do more than just talk!
