Another nice Friday morning is here which means 
I will be going to the Farmers' Market or "Feria."
in spanish.
Now the prices on the fruits and veggies
aren't that much cheaper than the stores, but
the produce is definitely fresher, and there even 
is an ORGANIC produce provider. I mainly go 
for the fresh baked goodies and homemade goat
yogurt, jams, cheeses and butter from the
Mennonites; and the fresh o.j. which I love mixing
with fresh squeezed sugar cane juice and
recently, they offer pure, fresh blackberry juice.
There is a "free range" chicken producer with great
chicken sausages and tender breasts (ahem.) And 
the Austrian guy now has Himalayan rock salt, 
great German sausages, plus the best cinnamon 
strudel i've ever  had!  There is a home-made bagel 
guy; excellent banana bread maker with choc chips
& now she sells homemade lasagna!  Kombucha lady
will give you samples so you learn why it's popular.
There are 3 cheese producers with  excellent prices,
one of whom sells my favorite corn tortillas and local
style parmesan cheese and a new stand offering
excellent spicy salchichon at a super low price!
Always there are new producers with some excellent
products, sometimes at reasonable prices-sometimes
insane prices. But it's always fun to go and see your
neighbors or make new friends! 

I AM NOW ON FACEBOOK, 

but as I learn more, i don't know for how long....

Don't forget to try our Virtual Tour 
as an option offered on each one of our 
property listings, it's like a video that was
taken of that property. Check it out, its a cool 
feature.  

Here's a cool Playa Hermosa video for you
to see: maybe not for developers' only:

As i have mentioned many times, one of the 
great advantages of living in the Central Pacific 
is how close we are to San Jose. Another fun
event happened this past weekend in San Jose,
with a Women's Small Business & Arts Fair. 
 

Last weekend there was the Festival of Costa
Rican Chocolate and Cacao; and a showcase
of arts and crafts in the brand new CR National
Convention Center.  Also i went to a pretty
amazing tribute concert for Juan Luis Guerra.
All these great events are only 1.5 hours from
my house in Playa Hermosa-Jaco compared to
5-6 hours from Guanacaste.....

We are celebrating our latest sale, in the
Hermosa Beach Bungalows, which now means,
we have no more currently for sale in this 
great community i have called home for the past
12.5 years.  Congrats to Diego.....

The Tourism Institute announced in 2018, for
the first time, more than three million arrivals
came to Costa Rica. 

I had to go to start producing documents
for the NEW real estate agent/broker
licensing requirements. Yes, its true.

Of course I picked the day when that 
night i could see one of the all time best
cover bands for the Beatles & Queen. 
Jazz Cafe Escazu charged 4500 colones
which equals $7.60 for an incredible
show. Coupled that with finding a new 
place to stay that was a super deal, (ask
me nicely and i will tell you about
Ester's.)  Remember i did live near 
Flamingo and worked in Tamarindo (2004
till Dec 2005), and i am so happy to be
75% closer to San Jose than before.

NO, don't say JAYco !!!
(By the way, before i went to Florida i
learned to say Brickell correctly due to
the "snickers" i heard when i spoke to
my neighbors from Florida.) 
Don't let this happen to you here in
Jaco beach. 
Officially it's haCO, but nobody will laugh
if you say HAco, but if you say JAYco,
they will die laughing and possibly charge you
double for your purchases.... 

 AND NOW WE PROUDLY PRESENT:

We have some great opportunities here, so check
