About Costa Rica
Our Pura Vida in Costa Rica
You would think that moving to Costa Rica from Alaska would be a no brainer. Well, the decision wasn’t that easy for Rene and me. After over 22 years in the 49th state, it was our home. However, in 1990 a fishing buddy of mine convinced me to go tarpon fishing in Costa Rica. First, I wasn’t familiar with tarpon and second, I didn’t even know that Costa Rica was in Central America. That trip changed our lives. It doesn’t seem possible that Rene and I have lived here at Lake Arenal for 18 years.
About Lake Arenal
It’s unbelievable that a lake this beautiful and big (25 miles, or 40.2 kilometers long) is practically unused during April through September: that’s when most days it is as smooth as a mirror. However, December to mid-March, the windsurfers flock to Arenal Lake, but only on the northwest end. It’s smooth and calm at the other end, so a few tour boats can show off our Arenal Volcano.
Our Notes on Costa Rica
One of the main reasons people love to visit Costa Rica is the relaxed lifestyle. While the rest of the world is frenetic and stressful, Costa Ricans exude calm and an easy approach to life. This country has been voted one of the world’s happiest countries in which to to live.
