My friend Ilse taking a Ultra Light flight along the coast  snapping sme pics. Pilo George is awesome. We love him. Visit him, while in Uvita. Awesome stuff!!!
Easy check-in at Palma Sur Airport. No security but also no AC.
Our first night a the river house on a blow-up mattress. It was still wonderful....what a view and peace in mind....
Joel, be careful there is a ditch....ups, too late. Be careful when driving at night & in general. There are unique street rules in Pura Vida land.
2006 - when water was rare at our properties (no city water then), we go up to whales and dolphin hotel & take a shower or swim. great place to do that or just watch the view.
some of you may think that those beautiful high royal palms that grow along both pathways to the River HOuse and Casa Verde have been there all along. no, here they are after hauling them on our pick-up truck from San Isidro (there was no nursery on the coast then) to Uvita. I love each one of them. They are so beautiful....BTW - in the back you can see Gumer's old house...well it was more of a shack. The workers that build the River House left Gumer there to watch the house until I wld come. And he has been working there ever since. BTW - we build him a nice house on the lot soon after this picture was made.
Goliath - the best dog in this world (ok, Nuss - you are right up there). I loved that dog! He was so awesome. Kept the mountain lion away, and wld bark when there was a scorpion or snake just near the house. Unfortunately, once he did not come back after his frequent run aways to the jungle....that was a sad day. 
Morning view from the River HOuse...
Grandpa & Kathrin with Eli at the Point. Not just great place to watch surfers try their luck with the waves but also to eat ;-)
chillin with my baby....

...a little glimpse into how the property looked when I first had a look at it in 2001. I still love it there but it has become much more developed and noisy :-)

Golfito - an interesting place with an amazing future in the works...

Golfito is located on Costa Rica's South Pacific coast, about 340 highway kilometers from San José.
This small port city is a narrow strip along Golfito Bay backed against steep green hills covered with pristine rainforest, with the Golfo Dulce lying seaward outside Golfito Bay. The city has a variety of hotels and restaurants, many of which also now provide free wireless Internet service for customers. Golfito was the main port on the South Pacific Coast of Costa Rica in the days when there was little except huge banana plantations. Diseases which infected the bananas and massive strikes by the workers contributed largely to the United Fruit Company's decision to leave the area. To help remedy the resulting impoverishment of the region, the government established a duty-free zone.
In addition to the duty-free shopping, there are a variety of activities one can find around Golfito which are more off the beaten path compared to typical tourist activities in other areas.

Beautiful beaches such as Playa Zancudo, and the surfing paradise Pavones are within easy reach from Golfito by car, boat or bus.
For more info, visit http://www.golfito-costarica.com/golfito/ and www.nussdreams.com for beautiful properties to buy there.

Retire, live and work in Costa Rica

01/22/2013

There are many reasons to come to Costa Rica. It's a beautiful and save country that offers unique access to nature and adventure. There are great opportunities to retire or live on a budget. You can even work here. For an example, if you have a baby in Costa Rica, you automatically get resident status similar to a US Greencard. My son - Eli was born in CIMA Hospital in Escazu, San Jose & I can really just recommend the experience. The care and technical standards were first grade. The doctors and nurses and also entire environment were amazing. Costa Ricans love children and will provide you with special treatment when pregnant or with small child everywhere including priority treatment at the immigration point, bank lines etc. If you are a retiree and want to live a full and happy life after your worklife but do not want to compromise on health care, then do some research on Costa Rica's health services and quality. It is excellent. Wait no longer, come down for a visit or stay for good. Pura Vida Awaits you!

Mi estadia en la River House, fue maravillosa, es un lugar sumamente tranquilo y lleno de vida natural, un lugar de paz con la naturaleza, las instalaciones de a casa son sumamente comodas y acogedoras. Durante el dia es calido y se complementa con el sonido del rio y la picina, y para la noche es un lugar fresco y adecuado para caminar y compartir con los acompañantes, Personalmente en la noche lo disfrute con mi familia dentro de la casa en una sala amplia, las habitaciones son de lo mejora. Ademas el afintrion Don Gumercindo es una persona que hace lo que necesite para que los huespedes no olviden estas vacaciones, Don Gumercindo es sumamente amble y lleno de ganas de colaborar. Sencillamente  felicito a Simone por la oportunidad que ofrece de conocer este lugar Gracias de nuevo

As some of you know, our family goes back more than half a century with espresso tradition. Actually, my dad owns the oldest coffee house in Vienna dating back to 1685! Anyways, coffee has always been one part of coming back to Costa Rica. We now own a finca in San Vito, growing and experiencing with our very own coffee plants. Almost all of the coffees roeasted in the family-owned business based in Austria contains at least some costa rican arabica coffee. for more information about this excellent coffee choice, visit the eshop at www.coffee2order.com. yummy!
