| Things We Take For Granted Emergency Services (or lack there of) On New Years Eve, I received a frantic call from a friend. A friend of hers was in the throes of experiencing a potential stroke. If she was in the US I would have told her to CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY... but wait, she is in Costa Rica! |
| The Duffy's First Due Diligence Visit by Tom and Dina Duffy Costa Rica... the Rich Coast. Pura Vida... the Good Life. These are phrases you come across all the time when researching Costa Rica, but are they merely marketing terms or do they embody the true spirit and culture of the country? In November of 2011 we made a "due diligence" tour to Costa Rica to find out. |
 | Driving In CR - A True Adventure... Driving a motorized vehicle in Costa Rica can be a very intimidating endeavor, from the experienced driver down to the neophyte. Aside from crazy drivers who care not for the rules of the road, there are the ever present Transitos, special traffic police who are determined to ruin the lives of vacationers and resident gringos - like me. |
 | Election 2012: ¿Vota o Bota? by Sally Timm, Atenas, Alajuela, Costa Rica Just because you are not currently living in the United States, you still have the right (and responsibility) to choose your elected officials. This article shows you how to exercise your American freedom of choice. |

new videos... |

Since our last newsletter back in October, I have been very busy with guests and shooting loads of new video. Between Thanksgiving and New Years, I have compiled 15 chapters of brand new material for your viewing enjoyment. Some of the videos (Chapters 87, 88 and 89) were made by the videographers at the International Living Conferences in San José and Las Vegas. I was able to "repurpose" and personalize the videos for display on this website. In addition, we are also striving hard to reflect our life and experiences here in Costa Rica. Many more videos are being planned for the next few months. If you have any ideas regarding new subject matter, please contact us. |
