I’m loving these RP stories but I’m sure they were horrific at the time they happened. Not many people could have endured

Thanks! We photoshopped the ‘pura vida’ in over what’s really there- the hotel initials for the post, but rest is same (and expensive haha!)

Coulda fooled me! It looks great. Bet it looked cool w/ the hotel name too. Great post.

Thank you! It did and as far as I know it’s still on the wall. We left it for the hotel when we sold.

Hahahaha I laughed at the customs office debauchery. There's ALWAYS "another way" when money is involved. What a great story! I admire your tenacity 😁

Costa Rican money is beautiful. I love the hummingbird notes. Did you leave the sign behind when you sold the hotel! Pura Vida!

Yes! We did leave the sign and as far as I know it’s still on the wall in the common area there! And yes, Costa Rican colones are beautiful! Also love the one with the monkey on it!

This was only a few months into living there and when Mark called me on his way back from this ‘excursion’, I was so glad he ‘made it’! Soo very typical!
