Costa Rica Wrap Up.

Costa Rica is like the real Disney World. Where Dreams (of adventure do) Come True. Again the people are extrememly nice, friendly, helpful, and smile at you all the time. This is true even if the encounter involves no money. They always say "Con mucho gusto", which means gladly or they were very happy to assist you. I use to say that the people from the Cayman Islands were the friendlyest people I had ever met but now I am going to have to change this to Costa Ricans.

Visiters should not exchange any money. They except Dollars as well as the Colon (their money). Both currencies are used as if they were one. There is an exchange rate. The locals it seems wake up at 5 am as the sun rises and go to sleep at 7 pm. Sun sets about 6 pm and the rains start about 4 pm. We got to see the beach where they filmed the movie Christopher Colon.

Everyone in Costa Rica has insect bite marks on their body and we both got around 10 each. Alicia got a weird one on her leg but we are watching it closely. Alicia made all the arrangements for the trip and she did an outstanding job.

Pura Vida, Till Next Time, Take Care, Jorge
