Hi Margie,
I´m French speaking and my wife is Latina from bogota Colombia, she speaks French, English and Spanish. I´m here in San Jose since sept 13, Ï´ll be here for 8 months alone to search for a place to live in the future with my wife ( Atenas, Orotina or else where). She stayed with my son where we live, she´ll move when I´ll find a place.
Martha is well educated and fits very well where ever she goes, in Europe, America etc… So some ticas are like her there are both latinas anyway.
What one said about sitting in a bar alone are for some people ¨putas¨ could be tru but not if you where at University or at the Cafe Mundo and others…
May I say that being alone for all these months I´ll be living in San Jose and try to make friends ticos and ticas and others from all over the world ,I hope.
I took the teatro nacional program and I will assist to the Symphonic Orchestra on sept 22, I´ visit art museums and other places that I can find people that resemble me, it is not easy but I´ll try…
I speak spanish that helps…
I would be happy to meet you and visit these places with you that you would be probably not beeing seen as what others said, the relationship will be a friendly one which will get you to meet people that will undestand that we are friends and makes them free to invite us or you alone to a different activity.best of luck and if you think it is possible just add your comments into this forum, I can contact you to the ¨retire2c@yahoo.com¨

Moi, j’ai essayer du parle un peu francais. (Me, I try to speak a little French) J’ai dermeure a Montreal,(I was living in MOntreal) maintenant a Toronto en avance due demenage a Costa Rica (now in Toronto before moving to Costa Rica.
Je sera demenage a Costa Rica (I will be moving to Costa Rica) before Christmas of this year.
Okay, so my French is rusty, but any chance to practice is fun. I think your networking talents are very good. And Margies’ articles are fun and a delicious authentic view through the eyes of a 55 year young wondrous Gringa Chica. (Keep uP the good work Margie!)
In any case I plan to learn the very basic of Spanish the first mnonth I am there before I move to my Tico home I bought in the heavens. Then I will fix it up. Phew!
I look forward to the opportunity of sharing experiences, friends and getting to know another artistic creative souls’ when I am there.
I am currently working on some fun projects with an incredible platinum-selling award winning deaf composer / producer and am connecting him and his perpetually 49+ year young(in my eyes) wife (her daughters are catching up to her age, and she is a doll) and sense you might enjoy connecting with him and his wife – they are close to your age range, which will be my pleasure. So far I have them looking at visiting Costa Rica and have teased them with a few connections. (Like dah’! I wonder why his wife likes me! No accounting for taste.)
If you want to connect with me, and build a growing network of creative souls, my email is:
Scott, Looking forward to meeting you soon and picking up the legal book when I get there. Keep on making a difference – over a dozen folks I have sent to your site have thanked me. Like dah’! In terms of immigration and real estate law,in Roberto Umana I trust. Great guy! Great lawyer! What more can I say except that I am not on commission and not related to Roberto, but would gladly adopt him as a member of my family, anytime.
