Costa Rica Cost Of Living Update: 6.6 pounds of mangos—$2
The sunsets lately have been amazing. There is an afterglow of purple and pink colors that up light the sky just as the sun disappears. I like these more than the typical golden ones; these have panache.
People often “ooh and aah” on the beach as this display unfolds. It occurred to me that Costa Rica is much like a pretty woman. One so gorgeous you stop what you are doing to watch her saunter into the room. You might even get lucky and catch a whiff of her perfume as she passes.
Or maybe Costa Rica just makes everything seem prettier. I’ll remember that the next time a flying beetle gets caught in my hair. They might be pretty as well, but I can assure you, they never smell like perfume.
My husband and I just got back from Tamarindo yesterday. We are in a total funk. Like your crazy neighbors, we are planning to move with our five dogs asap. I spent the whole day trying to find a rental house on the beach that would have us!
BTW, your book cost $20 in Tamarindo! Congrats on the good life! Lisa
Thanks Lisa. Keep looking for rentals, I know there are places in Potrero that will have dogs…how many I’m not sure. I know how you feel. Coming back from vacation is hard, especially when you found a place you can see yourself living. But it sounds like you will eventually get here….with a bunch of furry critter in tow!!!
Loved your book, especially since I too have lusted for life in Costa Rica. Where can I find an update on the house building? Saludos!
Hi Deb, the new book-which will be out by the end of the year- continues where the first one left off. Living at the beach has presented many more obstacles and sometimes I feel like I moved to a different country entirely. Oh…and plenty more stories about Rob. He just can’t seem to stop coming up with all these “great” ideas!
Ahhhh-mazing! Keep posting these great smidges of your pura vida! We all want to join you!
Thanks! There’s plenty of room in Costa Rica!
So,in effect, Costa Rica looks like you, pretty woman. So happy for Rob and you. Sorry I haven’t been aboard lately, but rarely up to it. Still in hospital. Take care.;
So sorry to hear of your health. Get well soon!
