Sweikert………if you really want to learn about Costa Rica and can read in Spanish or feel like taking the trouble to translate, I recommend “El Costarricense” by Copnstantino Lâscaris. It is hard to find but I see 1 copy on Abebooks. The book is not about real estate, information tours or the hot spots in San Jose. It will give you an idea of what makes a Tico tick. Can’t believe I wrote that. It will be very worthwhile. I think the most difficult thing about adapting to a new country is developing an understanding of its people. This book will start you in the right direction. Just a thought……..
