I just got back home from Costa Rica a few days ago and everything you say is true. I've been visiting there every years for at least 15 yrs. Still love it! In fact, when I got home I wrote a piece entitled "Americans Are Ruining Costa Rica"! Check it out if you like. It has a similar vibe to your piece. Thanks! I love CR and pura vida! :D
