The complete cultural shock in CR...........the SPECIFICS! by Trinidoggie

Hey BillA, If you can help me great, but you have some pretty negative assumptions about what I am asking here. I didn't say I was looking for perfection (it doesn't exist) and I do not look for CR culture to bend to my wishes. You say that ... Read More
THE BEST WEATHER and the fewest mosquitos by Trinidoggie
I don't know if my subject line is an oxymoron or not, but I'm wondering if there is a location in CR that has near perfect weather and few mosquitos. Perfect Weather: Comfortable to the point that you don't have to use heat or air ...
