How could two things I love come together? Tranquilo Bay and Athleta! I was flipping thru the Athleta catalog and longing to have another trip like I did two years ago to Tranquilo Bay, and then my husband told me had found out that it was in fact photos of our beloved Eco-Lodge. Hope to go back some day wearing one of my Athleta bathing suits.
