Nanci Wright-Stevens retired to the southern Caribbean coast of Costa Rica with her husband, Barry, in 2003, expecting to paint coconuts on the beach or help middle-aged ladies with their spiritual crises. Instead, after a fateful encounter with a hungry man and a poor young boy yearning to go to school from the local Bribri ("Bree-breeÓ) ethnic group, Nanci and Barry learned of the plight of the Indigenous there and were moved to Òre-tireÓ (get tired all over again!), forming and running a charity they named The Bridge to provide much-needed support out of their new home.
The Bribri and The Bridge is Nanci's often funny, sometimes sad, and always loving account of her adventures and those she's assisted and cared for in this fascinating part of the world.
Along with her signature wit and wisdom, Nanci shares her paintings and photos of an evolving land and culture filled with exotic animals and extraordinary people.
