No words can describe the amount of effort required to upkeep such a wonderful garden.
Many hours, days, and weeks of loving care, raking, shoveling,
and watering is needed to achieve such beauty.
The music in the background of the video is by Sofia and Livia Papadhimitri.
Sofia Papadhimitri was in charge of the administration of
www.FlyerMall.com from 2001 to 2006.
Within that period she assisted Spyros Peter Goudas to create the book about his beloved pet poodle, Koukla. Experiencing Columbia Costa Rica
Since then the Koukla Story has been translated into fourteen (14) languages and available in audio format.
The English version is narrated by the talented voice of Jesse MacDonald.
Other languages have been narrated by some of the most wonderful voices in the world.
The Koukla, Irma, and Tiger Story is an inspiration to animal lovers everywhere.
This link takes you directly into the story with additional language versions for you to choose from.
Sofia also assisted Mr. Goudas in writing the book,
Costa Rica, The World's Best Kept Secret.
Naturally, this book is popular with the Costa Rican Government and the Cacia Organization.
In addition to her work in FlyerMall.com, she further assisted Mr. Spyros Peter Goudas in the writing of the book on Columbia, titled,

GEORGE KOUTSOGEORGAS Dear Mr. Peter Spyros Goudas,
I came across an article that was written at the top of the photo from Livia Papadhimitri; needless to say, I spend the whole night watching videos of Livia and Sophia Papadhimitri classical music which were created as they played along with their father.
That was a beautiful experience for me, but I end up in a very big problem since the article was referring to your biography The Immigrant page 171.
So I got very lucky to find a copy of your biography on eBay from somebody in Peru, South America... That was the beginning of my life change.
I begin to like your life story and since then, I read many of your books and articles like Cambodia, Rwanda, Liberia, Kenya, Ghana, Jim Kottas, Peter Ruggiano, Bill Fatsis, Australia in Conspiracy of Silence, The Alzheimer's issue part1 and 2 and others.
If that was not because of you, I would never have known that John Richard Pilger said that Nixon ordered the bombing on Cambodia or the story about Rwanda during which more than a million people got killed.
Mr. Goudas, I would like to finish here by saying this was a unique experience.
KOUTSOGEORGAS MARY,GEORGE,TILEMAHOS,ALEXANDROS.PANAYIOTIS
All The Best, George Koutsogeorgas and family

Αννούλα του χιονιά (second song) from the video
The Best Garden in the World
Πάει καιρός που το φεγγάρι δεν περνάει από 'δω Το τοπίο είναι χακί, τρώει την καρδιά σου
Σε λευκό χαρτί τη νύχτα ξαναγράφω σ' αγαπώ στη σκοπιά παραμιλάω τ' όνομά σου
Αχ, Αννούλα του χιονιά δε θα είμαι πια μαζί σου στου Δεκέμβρη τις εννιά που έχεις Άννα τη γιορτή σου
Χτες το βράδυ στ' όνειρό μου, τι σου είναι το μυαλό μπήκαν, λέει, περιστέρια στο στρατώνα
Κι όπως το 'φερε η κουβέντα, μου είπαν όνειρο κι αυτό σήκω πήγαινε στην Άννα του χειμώνα Αχ, Αννούλα του χιονιά...
The second song Στίχοι: Σαράντης Αλιβιζάτος Αννούλα του χιονιά
