crltdaccording to conversations i have had with O.I.J. a person staying on a tourist visa technically has as many as 30 day grace period.
however, do not quote me if a transito stops you and your husband and decides that he is going to make your day more difficult.
leave for sixxola or paso canoas and get exit stamp and then reenter in 4-6 hours for new entry stamp. peace of mind.
crltd.goodlife…any where there is poverty/hunger there is a chance for this type of trafficking. as the article mentioned it is often done by members of immediate family. yes costa rica has poverty.
crltdviolent crime in Central America is up 40%. since 2001.
laura chinchilla anticipated the up swing but other than the traffic police she has not been able to influence crime..
very sad…
still i enjoy living here and have decided that i will not longer complain but rather make adjustments.

crltddear geegee,
the “mani” plant with the yellow flowers is good but not for close to the house as it brings the leaf cutter ants.

looking in the right place. What area do you live in?

[quote=”baontheriver”][quote=”GEEGEE”]We just cleared 2 acres of land and building on half of it.
We have been looking for grass seed to do the other acre.
Like Bahia or simular. We are in Grecia. Does anyone have any
knowledge where to get the seed and what kind it best.Thank You,
GeeGee (Fla)[/quote]Good Luck,
I have only been able to find a kilo at a time and it is very expensive. The Tico’s and my Gringo friends tell me that it is darn near impossible to grow from seed since the ants and other insects take it all away. I can believe this since I have seen it first hand and wasted some good seed. The best thing is to get “Americano” sod and tear it into chunks and spread it throughout the yard and step it in. It grows very quickly and then you can cut up chunks of that and continue the process. We sodded the area outside our door 100% for our dogs paws but the yard is around 20%. It has doubled in size in about a month. The sod costs about $20 US for 12 square meters.
Your other choice is to go with Tico grass which is a weed that spreads very quickly and can be pulled from one area and thrown down in another. It literally grows like a weed and we covered our cabina yard in less than a month. The Tico’s know how to do do this so it is worth paying them for this work. I have been in landscaping for 35 years so can understand your frustration.[/quote][/quote]
