Well, folks, the day we feared has arrived. The legend. The myth. The man who once juggled high end deals, Jack and Coke’s, and five offers before lunch… has officially hit the big six-oh. That’s right. Mike just turned 60, and he’s now sliding face-first into the golden years with all the grace of a howler monkey on a mango bender.

Let’s just call it what it is: he’s over the hill. Not gently coasting—over it. Like, clear-air-turbulence level over it. From here on out, it’s orthopedic flip-flops, suspicious moles, and the occasional  “Wait, what were we talking about again?”

As many of you know, there has been a long-standing community effort in Playa Hermosa to protect and preserve the welfare of our local Howler Monkey population. Whether we realize it or not, those of us who live, work, or invest in this beautiful part of Costa Rica share a responsibility to care for the wildlife that makes this region so special. 

We’ll get straight to the point:

Tres Amigos Realty Group, in partnership with Tank Tops Flip Flops, has donated $5,000 to Salve Monos Playa Hermosa, the nonprofit organization dedicated to addressing the growing threats faced by our simian neighbors.
