Costa Rica Scrapbook

From Sun City, Arizona retirees to expats in Palmares, Alajuela, Costa Rica. We knew things would change. We never dreamed just how much.

Snapshots of life in Palmares

This guy lives, along with four other big guys and a handful of smaller ones, at Parque Central.

A woven work of art that greeted us this morning.

The past meets the present: Pizza Hut alongside the bull fight arena

Pura Vida

Profile of two Expats

Vic & Terry: Very few events in our lives can be accurately represented as truly life changing. Of course, there's the typical: marriage, children, career choices that took us from place to place. But then there was our decision a few years back to retire to Costa Rica. That was a biggie. And now to celebrate our the first anniversary of that move, we made a huge - and truly life-changing - dietary change when we adopted a vegan diet. That, in a country where, albeit small portions, of beef, pork, chicken, fish, and dairy products make their way into most meals. Rather like the U.S. (except that the animal product portions are smaller here and we're flying without the safety net of commercial vegetarian products available in the U.S.) If we are nothing else, we are both creative and determined - two attributes that we hope will help us along this new path.
