ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

DONATE:

WHERE DOES COSTA RICA STAND IN THEIR DIVISION - GROUP D?
as of June 24, 2014

@@@@@@@@@@@@@


NOT INTO "FUTBOL"•"SOCCER"??   WHAT TO DO!!!
During a game is THE BEST TIME to do things like go to the hardware store, the bank, the market, take a bus, ride one of the trains, go to a popular tourist destination, etc. as the streets are BARE!!! 
It's NOT a good time to get a taxi as they're off watching the game so taxi's are few and far between then - and MANY are drinking then also so be forewarned!! 



@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@


Do NOT NOT NOT drink and drive!!
The life you save may be your own!!!
