My hubby and I seriously considered buying a sports bar on he beach down there and just dropping out - looks like you had a beautiful time. (And I checked out the rest of your website pics - your house is amazing - well done.)

I won't pretend my mind wasn't evaluating different areas for drop out potential. It's not ideal with the police corruption and probable tension between gringos with money and locals without but man I find it appealing. thanks for the house props!

Costa Rican FAQ

What does a policeman cost in Costa Rica?
My policeman cost $20 American. I believe a better negotiator could purchase a cop for much less.

What is the stupidest thing to be seen in Costa Rica?
A young man in Manuel Antonio gave the full ghetto Civic treatment to a new Mustang.

What percentage of the women in Costa Rica could be classified as hot?
Fully 90% of all Tica women are hot. The survey was thorough, scientific, and peer reviewed.

How bad are the roads in Costa Rica?
AAA recommends the Bradley Fighting Vehicle for rental drivers.

Are the monkeys dangerous?
Like bipeds everywhere, CR monkeys are a product of their environment. While murderous monkeys are rare, petty larceny is common place, with theft of unattended beach bags and hat snatching being major problems.The recently signed free trade legislation should address the economic forces related to monkey business.

FAQ cont...

What was the stupidest thing a tourist ever said in Costa Rica?
Seeing my Finger Lakes Bike Tour T-Shirt, a gentleman from Westchester County NY approached me. In an accent only George Pataki could love, he patiently explained to me how much more beautiful Westchester NY is than Manuel Antonio CR.
