They Speak Spanish in this Yaad-like Place

[ILP]

Di current mr ilp has a friend that has recently turned into a beach bum and has decided to relocate to Costa Rica. We will call the friend...urrr...Bob. He invited us down to see the land that made him bid adieu to the USofA.

Mi not sure how much narrative mi gwine get to....but hopefully, you will enjoy. I surely did.

I guess to pay hommage to me...Bob lives on the Carribbean side of the country. Jamaica is somewhere in the distance....

Costa Rica is very big on Eco-living, Eco-Preservation, etc. These could be found everywhere. I took this one at Doka Coffee Farm.

the wildlife MORE than made up for that tho.

looking forward to more of this report. We never made it to the Carib side.
