The Dragons of Costarino


	Always present, always watchful.

	Drako takes a breather.

	Drako's lair with entrance to water cave at base.

As of 2007, Costarino has more than seven dragons living on its grounds in Carmel-by-the-Sea:

Two whiskered Chinese dragons guard Costarino from under the home's front eves. High in their perch, these wise and protective dragons peer out to the sea night and day. During your stay, rest assured that they'll also be watching over you and your family.

Drako, the fire breathing dragon, clings atop the mighty rock wall in the rear grounds. He collects stones from afar as Big Sur for his nest. And many of them weigh over a 1,000 pounds. Be careful! Drako breathes fire whenever he wants. Don't get too close or you may end up as toast.

Kyota, a youngster adopted from Kyoto, Japan has a broken horn. So shy she won't let us snap a photo, she needs your love as her horn grows stronger. She perches under the Tree of Truth near the Ohm bench. When she purrs, water flows into the rock stone.

It's rumored that a large purple dragon reaching a full twelve feet long, lives hidden by the north roof line of Costarino. Seen just once, purple dragons are the most mystical of all creatures. When you least expect it, they'll whisper a secret that will change your life. Listen well, especially at night, when you can hear the waves roll onto the sandy Carmel beach.

A cave dragon resides within Drako's lair, perched behind a stone slab. Many megladon teeth litter the walls and stone floor, a favorite catch for this sharp-clawed beast. Please do not explore the water cave.

A number of nesting dragons, unseen for the most part, live below the house in sand dens. And high atop the 143ft pine in the back garden, a lone dragon sits so high, it's just a rumor. Smaller dragons hiding amongst the bamboo glen that ring the grounds, may at times be glimpsed, sometimes by just their tail, during the full moon.

Please do not feed the dragons. They all prefer incense.
