That's what killed the cat. But since satisfaction brought it back I decidely have continued to be curious. On further investigating some inane news (mind you this is dangerous territory in itself) I discovered that the world has been stuck with a title song from the album CURIOSITY by Carly Rae Jepsen as top of the charts at number 1.
Of course I refer to 'Call Me Maybe'. I also then on an unrelated encounter found that NASA had named their MARS rover with the same name - Curiosity. That peaked mine. Why would that be?

In Spanish it means the rich coast so named by Columbus landing in early 16th century and being mesmerized by the local tribes sporting gold jewelry. Our stay included visiting the foothills of a large strato volcano called Arenal and enjoying the naturally heated thermal baths for a while. Lunching amidst lush forest and watching indigenous species of avian noise makers fly overhead. Toucans, some sort of pea hens, multiple song bird species completed the spectacle. Iguanas and a lonel...
A Sherlock Holmes (or Watson) moment, indeed!
