[quote=”grb1063″]There really are not any “campgrounds” per se like we are acustom to in the US. In CR it is more like pitch a tent where you feel like it on the beach, since nobody owns it. The beaches between Montezuma and Cabuya are absoultely crazy during Semana Santa. There is no camping allowed in many of the National Parks.
The bus system even reaaches the smallest towns on a daily or more frequent basis, even Cabuya at the end of a dirt road at the end of the Nicoya Peninsula.[/quote]About a mile north of Montezuma i heard there is a nude beach and around there are places people camp.
[quote=”gkbiz”][quote=”Versatile”]”You cannot criticize Israel in this country and survive.”
Helen ThomasDear Versatile, You conveniently forgot this part of the quote:
Thomas, 90, caused an uproar May 27 when she said Israelis should “get the hell out of Palestine” and “go home” to Poland, Germany, America and “everywhere else.”[/quote]One of us is confused. I think the statement i posted was made a different time. After she got fired.
[quote=”costaricafinca”]There was an article a week or two ago, online, but I couldn’t find it again, where another young Canadian woman said she went to Europe (I think it was) for a ‘similar surgery’ for cystic fibrosis and [i]”the procedure also involved the widening of the veins”[/i] and said the difference was unbelievable and she was intending to run a marathon next month, just a few months after her surgery.[/quote]More on the Cystic Fibrosis stuff, please. I have a friend that i grew up with and is oF of the longest living CF persons in the world. He IS 56 YRS OLD.
[quote=”4ofakind”]I truly don’t believe I will be able to afford to purchase a home in CR. Are there any rental properties? Whould they be around the expat communities? Are there any problems to renting in costa rica? I live in CA now but want out by early next year. I appreciate this site and all the wonderful info but there is not alot about renting in CR. Please enlighten me.[/quote]
You can buy new Tico houses for 60k. How can you afford CR if you cannot afford a 60k house?
“You cannot criticize Israel in this country and survive.”
Helen ThomasA Mr Sanchez had very much the same problem just about a week ago and lost his job also.
After reading a lot of these threads it is very easy for me to come to the conclusion that there are many expats that are “OUT THERE”!

[i]”CAJA provides NO TESTING SUPPLIES AT ALL… no meter,strips etc…Get this.. I get [b]one[/b] needle a day (from CAJA) when I use 5 or more insulin shots a day. They use the older insulin which means I personally don’t have as good control as when I was on Lantus and humalog…. Now they give me NPHr and NPHn. “[/i]
Hopefully this info helps.[/quote]
Sounds like what Obamacare will eventually look like….[/quote]
A medical thread going political. Why?

A little more info with more spin on it.
I myself am getting a little fed up with all the USA bashing. Nothing wrong with stimulating conversation. The USA sure had to be good to the expat’s from the USA now living in CR otherwise you wouldn’t be able to afford to live in Costa Rica. Bash away if you want but why not also state some of the good the USA does in other countries.
My self i don’t enjoy being around pessimists at all. Why do you move to CR and then sit at your computer and bash your home country? Try Iran for awhile and then let’s hear you bad mouth the USA. I knew a man from Iran and they convicted him of having been to the USA and not telling them so they drained most of his blood and then shot him in the head as he was on his knees. I know a woman here in the USA that spent 6 months in prison because she was over educated and they also whipped her back with bamboo sticks.
I kind of look at it like America(USA) is “Big Brother” and no matter how nice we are or how much good we do as a country; the USA will always be considered the Villan. No kid anywhere likes the older or the sibling in charge telling them what to do. Sure the USA does do things that other countries hate. Do you actually think they would do any better if they were in the same position? Yes and no!
Hal somebody just dumped a load of crap on us about slavery coming back to the USA. Myself i am unsure about this bill. Might just be a good thing for our country overall. The USA seems to be wallowing in regards to maturity and quite a few other areas of human growth. I sure have known several people that went to the military and it made a man of them. Women too; i just haven’t met them. We have so many children of parents that don’t parent that it is silly.
All in all i am not that good at putting my thoughts to word. I do have a question for some! You moved to Costa Rica from the USA and you tell us constantly how bad my(our) country is and it makes me wonder are you going to become a Costa Rica citizen and renounce you citizenship in the USA? i doubt anyone will. Why? Must be something worthwhile you still want from our country.
Bash me if you want but i am proud to be a citizen of “THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA”[quote=”costaricafinca”]You find it…I’ll help you get it to the bank….:lol:
My husband keeps saying, when he has time, he will make a sluice box. Of course, it would be easier if we lived nearer a river…[/quote]A guy named Tom Massey found about 365lbs at the bottom of a waterfall in California years ago. Fun to talk about! lol
Start collecting buckets! We will need them! lol[quote=”costaricafinca”]You are not permitted to remove any ‘antiquities’ from the country.
Where we were living just outside of Turrialba, there was some Americans affiliated with a Costa Rican university who brought some students to the property just above ours, for three consecutive years. They did find some very basic ‘tools’ made out of rock and gave us small one, plus they found evidence of dishes.[/quote]The designation might change from “Perpetual Tourist” to “Perpetual Prisoner”!
I speculate that at the bottom of a waterfall or two is a mucho amount of gold dust etc
