Description
The Costa Rica Chronicles from 1980 on: The good, bad and ugly people and places of the day
Stories often have the power of bringing dormant feelings and faded memories back to life. The words ricochet off of some figment of our experience and take us back to a very special place, where nostalgia wakes up and finds itself in a portable home. The author draws a portrait of those times and of the first expatriates to come to Costa Rica.
Learn about the gringo pioneers, the scoundrels and characters and events that led up to present day Costa Rica. Starting in 1980 this guide chronicles what really went on when San José was the epicenter of gringo and tico life. Costa Rica in those days was a mixture of expats, the unwanted, fugitives from the law, controversial politicians, adventure, a few entrepreneurs, waring Central American neighbors and dictators, sizzling nightlife and the last trace of the country’s innocence. Present day expats will see a sharp contrast to life in Costa Rica today. Those who do not live here will be captivated by an era long gone.
The author has lived, worked and played in one of the most magical places on earth for 40 years. His love for Costa Rica is so great that he became a citizen. It is not surprising that he has first-hand knowledge and insight into all aspects of Costa Rica’s culture and its people.
