I HAD VISITED COSTA RICA SEVERAL TIMES FOR BIRDING, BUT IN 2016 I STARTED THINKING ABOUT HOW I MIGHT RETIRE THERE.  I SPENT SIX WEEKS DURING THE NORTH AMERICAN SUMMER OF 2017 IN COSTA RICA AND THEN NEARLY THREE MONTHS IN 2018.  AFTER RETIRING IN 2018, I MOVED TO COSTA RICA.

​

SINCE I AM NO LONGER POSTING ON FACEBOOK, THIS BLOG TAKES ITS PLACE.  IT IS PRIMARILY FOR FRIENDS AND FAMILY, BUT IT MIGHT BE OF SOME VALUE TO ANYONE INTERESTED IN COSTA RICA OR TRAVELING IN CENTRAL OR SOUTH AMERICA.
