Arriving in Costa Rica

We just recently moved to San Jose, Costa Rica. I was very excited and did a lot of reading as I usually do when I have to move to a new country, so I was ready to start exploring as soon as I got here. It is a very family orientated country and they choose to spend most of their money on education and healthcare!!

We chose to live in the escazu area, as it is a little out of town, because I am not all about hustle and bustle, but really close to everything I need. The hospital and Multiplaza mall is 3 min away. Right down the street we have a small plaza with everything we need: Freshmarket, dry cleaners, pharmacy, a lovely ice cream store, bookshop etc. There are also a lot of restaurants in both directions.

The fisrt thing I decided to do as soon as we moved into our new house was to start my garden. so aftera little reading I wanted to see all the viveros outside the city.

For $6 I bought 8 gorgeous plants. I asked specifically for ones that attracts butterlies and hummingbirds. Now my garden is filled with them!

Take a drive through Antenas on the way home and have some delicious pupusas!! They are typical from El Salvador. The best ones I have ever had. I personally like queso and chicharron. With some slightly spicy coleslaw.
