in Paris earlier this year, where I began my French studies….Loved it!! That’s where I found

your site.

We then spent 2 months in Costa Rica (where I continued my French studies

with Alliance Francaise) and drove all over the Guanacaste area. This was our third visit to

Costa Rica. We found that although a beautiful country and great people, not enough action for

us to consider moving there. Some of the things you describe in your blog, although charming at

first, over time they really become annoying. The roads, the infrastructure, the lack of “stuff

to do” (after all walking along the beach is great, so is just hanging out and reading,

writing, thinking….but after 2 months of that, then what?)

Costa Rica is for us a

beautiful place to visit but still very provincial. Next year we will return to France for me

to continue my language studies and will rely on your website. Thank you!

French about.com e-mails for years and just completed my French minor at university. Thanks

for a great site!

I was just wondering what part of Costa Rica you plan to spend the

most time. I was there for 4 months studying tropical Ecology in 2005, so I definitely have

some suggestions of places not to miss and still have lots of friends there and wonderful,

welcoming people. Have a great time!

Pura vida!
