Tico Rico,Eco this Eco that,

Justo Gusto, Coco Loco,   Pura Vida,

Early morning howlers,

Bird feeder fights, enterprising tourismo entrepreneurs, warm humid embrace, cloud forest downpours, majestic mountains, lush valleys, cute coati armies, warm breezes, “always use sunscreen”,

Industrious leaf-cutting ants that can spell . . . .

Panderias,  licoreras, pulperias,
Let sleeping dogs lie,

Baldi hot springs ahhhhhhh!!
Naked light bulbs, no-kickplate cabinets

Free mini-Tabacon hot springs only Ticos know 

Bus-eating potholes,

Treacherous sidewalks,  no straight level roads,  no end of lane warnings – crash,  no speed bump warnings – boom,

Earthquake shocks,

(Well maybe a bit exaggerated), stolen sandals, ripe starfruit, tourists everwhere!!, single plantation micro coffee roasters, broken English, broken Spanish, volcanic sands,
Surf bodies,  

Tasty tabbouleh & fattoush (not quite as good as Ivan’s)

McDonalds McCafe almost acceptable, 

Jungle Jam, Medical exam
