PICS FROM COSTA RICA

Just got back from costa rica and wanted to share a few pics from my trip.
We were down for a couple weeks on vacation but also to check out the cost of living.
Me and my wife are maybe planing a move down there so we wanted to check out the country.
Here`s a pic of one of our favorite restaurant/bars wich has an amazing view for the sunsets.
The other pics are of some of the monkeys we spoted and a huge bug we found near our pool.

  • Crazy stuff, looks like lots of fun. Definitely should move down there, those monkeys throw poop I hear.
  • Looks awesome, I would move there if I was you.
  • Glad you had a good trip... Thanks for sharing the pics...

    I actually started to cry.
    When I left, we didn`t have any snow on the ground so it was a real shock to see that much snow.
    I was real happy my grandmother came by to shovel before I got back,I really would not of felt like shoveling  after an 8 hour flight and driving back from JFK.

  • Looks like good times Jordan... I am dissappointed there is only one picture of your wife though... we demand more pics like the one legged body boarding pic you posted last year! LOL!!!!!!! image J/K
  • Nice pics. I wouldn't mind visiting, but Costa Rica is certainly not a place I'd like to live in, simply because I am disinterested in living in Central or South America.
  • Looks nice there. My in-laws go about once a year. That stick bug looks a bit freaky though.

    I'd have a panic attack if I had that on me. I have a phobia of bugs for some reason, particularly those that look like that.

    You should really reconsider that.  I've been all over Latin America, and it's like being in the wild west, the land that the law forgot.

    Is it really? Well, I haven't ever been to the wild west, but from what I've heard of the wild west, I may not mind as much as my the post you quoted stated I would.

    I assumed most of Latin America was mainly jungle, rainforest, etc., which isn't my cup of tea.

  • Glad you had a good time, Toby Flenderson.

    Latin America's got it all.  The Andes, deserts, rainforest, rolling plains, awesome beaches, cosmopolitan cities, which include everything from slum shanty towns to mansions and exclusive nighclubs.  Hell, one time I was hiking around central highland Mexico and thought I could have been in Wisconsin because of all the tall pine trees. 

    By the wild west thing, I mean it's the kind of place where you can basically do whatever you want, and get away with it.  They have a lot more social freedom than we do here in the US or even Canada.  The trade off of course being that we have more political and economic freedom.

    you also meaning you might just get hung or gunned down for no reason and not much would be done.

  • ^^^Well, not that extreme. But in some parts, yes, and those are best avoided. For example, the eastern and southern parts of Colombia where all the cocaine is grown. But overall, they aren't going to mess with European or North American tourists, because the government would probably come after anyone who did that. They have a vital interest in keeping tourists coming to their country.
  • By get away with anything, I mean you can ride around in the back of a pick up truck down the highway while drinking beer. Or sit on the window sill of your car while speeding down the street. Or getting drunk in public, walk up liquor stores on street corners, shooting off fireworks into a crowd of people, 5 year old kids drinking beer at a bar, smoking a joint on the beach and bribing the cops if you get caught, jumping from moving cars, riding a push cart down a winding mountain road, thousands of people posing naked in the main plaza of a big city for a photograph.... you know, fun stuff.
