Dancing With The Stars in Costa Rica

Well,  a Saturday evening of dancing to live latin music, two glasses of nice white wine….total cost $8.00…..less than a movie.  Try doing that in CA, FL or NY or anywhere else..  The place…Amapola right in Jaco.  And speaking of movies, we have a new tri-screen theater (cine in Spanish) in Jaco.  Four bucks!  And popcorn like they serve at state fairs…two bucks!  Yes, Virginia, you can live for a lot less here in Jaco, Costa Rica.  That is if you enjoy being by the Pacific Ocean, like great weather, gorgeous scenery, fantastic nature and wonderful people.  Every tourist I meet here mentions the friendliness of the Costa Rican people.  The greeting here is “pura vida”, which means “pure life”.  And it certainly is. 

I’m typing this while I sit on my patio, watching the waves, the surfers (and the girls).  If you’ve never been here, visit and you’ll soon discover why Jaco Beach, Costa Rica is called “Paradise”.

More, later. g
