So....where are those pictures? 😆 😆

Any pics will do, something with blue sky, and plants that don't go dormant...

Volcano Arenal is surreal...hope you're not building beside that! 😆 😆

Barb . The Imperial cervesa in Costa Rica is better tasting than the Mexican "Corona "IMO. I`m glad we were near Volcan Arenal for only a couple of days. When it last erupted large in 1968 killed 66 people. The lava flows every day and many tour bus travel up the side to see the lava and smoke show at night. We would like to be building a house with a half acre near Coco beach, Guanacaste province "Bonito" "Playa conchal" and "Playa Grande" Es paraiso".

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Thanks Aaron. I would go back in a heartbeat. Endless summer! Very nice Costa Rican people. I could easily become a beach bum.

Thanks, John.
When Belize gets too cold for me (did I mention it hit 48 oF one morning when I was there last month?!?) I'll just head further South. --Erik

Jim your welcome. Your girlfriend is absolutely right about the weather it was perfect everyday we were there.You won`t regret visiting Costa Rica.Erik the temperatures at night stayed around 72f to 74f and 92f to 95f in the daytime on the coast.
But then again you would expect that being Costa Rica is at 10 degrees latitude. Another tidbit there are very rarely any hurricanes because it is so near the equator. Earthquakes are another story.
