I tell Costa Rica that I admire and respect them because they have sought peace and education. Hopefully one day in my both countries, the US and Honduras, we can learn from Costa Rica and say Buena Vida or Good Life based on the Costa Rican values of joy, peace and harmony. I have never been to Costa Rica, but I would sure love to be part of your Pura Vida! Best Regards, Alberto Serrano Dear Readers,

Although we only got to see in and around Arenal Lake, Liberia, Coco Beach, The Riu etc., we thoroughly enjoyed where ever we went in our surroundings, and of course the people (Ticos) that we met. Costa Rica is a wonderful country, and it's people are marvelous! I'm still thinking of moving to Costa Rica, but of course, I don't think I can sell my house here in the states...Lol! Also, it would take a tremendous effort to get the wife to move there and be away from the grandkids...Lol! All I can say is: "Pura Vida" My wife and I were in Guanacaste, CR two weeks ago.
