    I agree! I do try to include links to maps on th site where possible and know that this is an area that we could improve on…

    It’s on my ‘To Do’ list.

    I’m assuming that most Americans would be deeply disturbed if the Nicaraguans or Argentinians were investing tens of millions of dollars to fund political parties in the USA to defeat GW Bush so, in the spirit of ‘freedom’ and ‘democracy,’ I would hope that instead of ‘intervening’ as they have done on so many previous and disastrous occasions in Central & Latin American politics that perhaps US politicians might allow the people in Nicaragua to make their own decisions without interference for once.

    Do you feel that an Ortega victory in Nicaragua could impact Costa Rica?

    Must admit that these results are certainly ‘shake-you-by-the-shoulders “shocking” but, I do not believe that Costa Rica is considered a target by the extremists that would normally target the USA.

    If US “foreign policy” continues along the same cataclysmic path then US citizens living in any foreign country will certainly become targets but not necessarily the country itself. I am shocked that nobody else seems surprised that we have not seen far more violence against US citizens elsewhere. After all, aren’t we not told every day that this is a war?

    Failing 91% of the undercover security tests at Newark (where my children fly from on every trip) clearly proves that this whole “security” operation is totally bloody useless.

    There are plenty of people that will happily take you on a tour of the islands including the Calypso which will do it in ‘style.’ Their website is at

    That Calypso catamaran has two jacuzzis inside it!

    When a Tico visits someone’s home, instead of knocking on the door they will often shout “Upe!”

    This is an abbreviation for ‘Ave María Purísima Nuestra Señora la Virgen de Guadalupe.’

    Attorney Jose Rafael Fernandez is a completely bilingual Costa Rican attorney and a very, very dear friend of mine whom I have known now for over seven years.

    Out of the hundreds of attorneys I have met over the years here in various business and investment matters, there are two attorneys in Costa Rica that I would consider to be THE most trustworthy – Jose Rafael Fernandez is one of them.

    If you search this site for “Fernandez” you will find the dozen or so articles has written for our VIP Member and his email address…

    And you only have the ‘nerve’ to write this because you ‘bizCR’ registered under a stupid name using an anonymous email address.

    Our website member are unfortunately intimately familiar with the many “scumbags” that are trying to sell various real estate products in Costa Rica. In fact many of them have been threatened with attorneys because they posted constructive but negative criticism of them…

    I have indeed taken MOST of the photographs of the real estate that is for sale on this site BECAUSE we have checked that real estate out!

    That’s the whole idea because our VIP Members requested a thousand times that not only do we warn them NOT to buy but we also show them well researched properties.

    If you would prefer a site filled with Google ad’s etc for “questionable” real estate for sale in Costa Rica, may I suggest you find another one because that’s not what we have at WeLoveCostaRica.com

    Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback ‘donbuc’

    We have received many superb references from our VIP Members about Mayra. She is a very cheerful, caring and conscientious real estate broker and, her English is improving FAST.

    We spoke with the owner/developers yesterday who confirmed that the Country Club condos are already 50% sold out and they haven’t broken ground yet so we KNOW that they have something that our VIP Members find very appealing.

    For those of you who have not taken a look yet, the article on these coundos is at

    … and thank you for taking the time to let me know how you feel ‘rf2cr’.

    I spend a minimum of about six hours per day on the site (in addition to my real ‘job’) but I’m having a lot of fun too and meeting some wonderful people.

    As I usually tell myself at the end of each year – “Next year I’ll slow down a little…” Ha! Si como no!

    Whether they appreciate it or not ‘everybody’ is selling ‘something’ whether it’s themselves as a potential husband or wife or, a product or service as part of their profession.

    However, wouldn’t you agree that there is a BIG difference between someone that sells something with ‘honesty’ and ‘integrity’ that is genuinely and obviously beneficial to the buyer in comparison with someone that is selling something that is highly dubious, often difficult to verify and comprehend, sometimes legally questionable and that is only apparently beneficial to the seller?

    And what exactly do you sell in your life Lindy?
