I was born and raised in NW Washington State near the Canadian border. Attended the U of W for too many years but managed to learn Spanish, got burned out and went South and now here I am almost 40 yrs later and don't regret a minute of it. "Aqui me quedo" as the say in Costa Rica. I live in DulceNombre, La Garita about 9 km from Alajuela, in the country on a nice quinta with fruit trees and all the other good stuff and in the best climate in the world, or so they say.
