Woo Hoo, I am in Costa Rica!

I got in last night and was picked up by my new boss. It’s pretty cool so far. The network I am working on is pretty small, but that’s ok.

It’s getting ready to rain. I guess that happens alot. 🙂

It’s really green which is cool after living in Vegas.

I like the place so far. I am supposed to go down to the beach in a couple of days. I am looking forward to that.

Please try and take the tree top tour at Rincon de la Vieja. My wife and I did it and it was my original inspiration for my treehouse! It’s wonderful!

Santa Teresa down in Mal Pais on the Nicoya Peninsula is one of my favorite places in the World.

I was about bump the old thread, but I found this slighter newer one to bump. Do you know of good websites for info on living in Costa Rica? I know they must exist, but I haven’t turned up any good ones. I’m leaving in about a month, and there are all kinds of practical concerns that are coming up. For example, I’m wondering how I’m going to deal with banking while I’m there. Thanks!
