I love the Costa Rica that I’ve met. The people are wonderful, the land is gorgeous, and the food is amazing. Everything is laid-back, chill, pure, excellent. I haven’t been to the Pacific coast where the resorts are. I haven’t been to the Very Money parts of the country. I never like such things.
You might know I’m getting married in Costa Rica, on the southern Caribbean coast. The place we’re staying is on a dirt road. Yeah, the pavement just doesn’t go quite that far. Neither do many cars. It’s mostly bicycles from that point on, and I love it. It’s one of the reasons we’re going there. And I worry that the precious calm of that area is going to begin dispersing soon. Alas, the road is slated to be paved.
What’s more, I read today that Costa Rica may ratify a free trade agreement with the US that requires CR to create “state telecom and insurance monopolies.” I was torn on the topic until I read that sentence. Seeing what has happened in the US with the telecom and insurance industries, that is definitely something I DON’T want for the Ticos. Fortunately, there is strong opposition for the agreement, but the current president (elected by a 2% margin in February of this year) favors it.
Fingers crossed and hoping for the best.
