Contessa in Costa Rica

June 10 will mark three months in Costa Rica.  I can't say this has become my new normal yet, but we have started to settle in. My thoughts go both to the good and not so good about the country. Maybe not so good is not the best way to put things.  Other words come to mind such as different or inconvenient.  It seems that both have both positive and negative aspects. Why don't I just make a list.  I like a good list. Familia:   It's really nice to be around Eduardo's family and for him to have access to them.  It's been years since he has been able to be involved on this level.  I know he is enjoying the time he is spending with them.  They have also been an endless help for us during this transition time.  Without them we wouldn't have known how to go about getting our cell phones, how to get around on the buses when we need to, who to talk to regarding lawyers to get property moved over to our name.....  It's been great going to family gatherings and
