Last Week of Summer...Costa Rican Dreams...Pura Vida!

[Tight Lines]

Stunning! Glad y'all had a great trip!

Out of curiosity, did you ever feel as if you had any safety concerns while visiting there?

Literally not once. I've been to maybe half of Central and South America. Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, El Salvador, Belize and Costa Rica. Of all of those, I felt the safest and never unsafe in any way in Costa Rica and we were all over the northwest. If you were in the capital San Juan, maybe. I'm sure there are typical tourist pick pockets and such, but we never saw anything, and never really saw any police presence except at the national parks which I found odd. Seems like a very cush job.

Vs. Mexico and El Salvador it was the polar opposite. I feel more unsafe getting gas in Buckhead or going to the the Benz than I ever did in Costa Rica.

I was married to a girl whose people came from there once. Meanest witch God every breathed life in.

Thanks for sharing. One my bucket list for a long time. My grandfather was a civil engineer on the Panama Canal. My grandmother said it was the best time of her life while living there back in the day. She talked about Costa Rica a lot and she's been all over the world.

That's pretty cool!

I'd like to go there at least once.

It was worth it, I'd go back. Certainly would go there over Mexico, Jamaica or any of those places in the Caribbean...

The resort had a pile of raccoons and coatis. The coatis are hilarious little animals, and travel with several moms and the offspring...so 15-20 of them, 3-4 adults and a pile of kits are scurrying about, chattering, eating anything they can find...they appear cute, but I am sure they a feisty too...we saw them almost every night...

I got nothing. I can give you billfishing captains or surf instructors if needed?

Don’t need anything. Got it right the second time.

I’m glad you think it’s funny. I sure didn’t.

Not funny, just happy for you!
