This Costa Rica Blog is for the benefit of anyone interested in knowing about Costa Rica for purposes of traveling, investing, retiring, or anything else! The writer has lived and owned and operated a business in Costa Rica for many years and offers the perspective of a gringo who has made the transition culturally, economically and in every other way to the Costa Rica life. I hope you enjoy my blog. Pura Vida Mae!
