It is great to be constantly reminded of such a vibrant place with great humor,stories and appreciation.

When I visited with my huband we were a bit worried about getting around but after getting the hang of it (with a great deal of help and kindness), we got from place to place with ease and not a little adventure. The country is beautiful. Everyone we met was helpful and friendly…There was maybe a sketchy moment at the beach but it may have just been a bad call on our part…other than that, we had an incredible time and constantly think about going back before American air travel becomes exclusively for the rich and famous.

Interestly enough, I just saw a good movie (could have been a bit better but it was compelling- really compelling and beautifully shot) that was filmed some in Costa Rica. The film is called Sharkwater and while watching it, my husband and I both were thrilled to see the people of Costa Rica come together over an ocean issue that we had just learned about.

I don’t have much of a point with all this rambling except to say thanks Tim- for keeping this blog going for expats and retirees .. and for people who met and were welcomed even for a short time into such a brilliant country. I’m glad that I visited and I always hope to come back.-jaki
