7. Are you in Costa Rica?

I know there are a few who post here who are, and I read their messages with wonder and awe. When hubby and I were talking about if, how, and when to become ex-pats, Costa Rica was my first word, based on what I'd read here...

I used to work for the Saudis as a liaison assistant and one of my majors I was friends with had a parrot. Loved the parrot, and the parrot loved my little 4-year-old daughter. But every time I came in, the bird went straight for my toes! (LOL)
