In reply to the discussion: Our new life in Costa Rica [View all]LakeArenal
(28,883 posts)So we started researching. I remembered that anyone who had been here loved it and wanted to stay. So we read books, YouTubed, googled lots about it.
Things that struck us
Mountains view, lake, remote, more birds than anywhere on earth. Mr Lake has a thing for volcanoes.
There was a passage in a book about the variety of ecology in CR. It said something like: Or perhaps you would prefer an emerald green spot on a mountain with a view of an active volcano and amazing wildlife all around I read that to Mr Lake and both of us knew thats where we would go. In the 13 years of dreaming, the volcano has gone to sleep. Otherwise everything is as we dreamed.
Oh and never take for granted how fortunate we are that both of us have been on the same page since the first idea came to us.
And no. We auctioned off most of our possessions and hoboed it here sight unseen. As Billy Joels says a matter of faith.
