365 Reasons I Love Costa Rica
http://www.costa-rica-guy.com/blog/
This is my Personal Blog. In it you will find my early morning philosophizing about life with a decided Costa Rican twist. Living here I tend to see things from a perspective that is biased towards my deep affection for Costa Rica and its people. If you are so wayward in your internet wanderings as to stumble upon this blog, I hope you get some joy and maybe even some benefit from reading it. If that happens, it will have served its purpose well. Pura Vida!

Reason #236: Santísima Trinidad!
“Ay dios mio” is a familiar refrain you hear in Costa Rica. The expression is equivalent to “oh my god” in English. My girlfriend is not Costa Rican, but Colombian….from Medellín, no doubt. They have many words that sou...
