Hi folks --
I have just returned from my trip to Costa Rica cycling with my 13 year old daughter. We had a blast! People were extremely friendly and kind (and incredulous that we were on bicycles). We started out... Thanks again

Hello! I just had to drop you a line to tell you how much I enjoyed your web site! You both seemed to love traveling there...I'm doing my research to travel there later this month and found your site most helpful! I loved your Screwdriver and your cashew story- too funny! Thanks again for your time and effort on putting this info on the web.

Dear Ray,
I got your map (a couple of days ago, but was very busy)! WOW!!! Seriously, this is a cool map! I love the material, and from what I saw, it is VERY detailed. In fact, you are the only map I have seen of Costa Rica that has the road between San Pablo de Turrubares and Orotina! All the other maps show no road, while it is a great road in real life! Ray, this is really great, well done.
I can put a link to your online site on our webpage, as a recommended map of Costa Rica. Also, when I get an opportunity to recommend a map I will always recommend yours.
Pura vida,
—Neta T., Owner-La Finca Que Ama, San Pablo de Turrubares, Costa Rica



Just got back from 2 weeks in Costa Rica. Your map was GREAT! It got doused by a leaky waterbottle before we even got off the plane in San Jose, and it still stayed together for the whole trip. It totally saved us in San Jose proper, and was very easy to follow for our cruise to Quepos, then up to La Cruz. Your website was extremely helpful in planning our trip. Everything you had to say about the roads and the drivers was absolutely true. Thanks a lot! Pura vida,
—Diane, Boulder CO



[I] Miss Costa Rica. Went there just before it got hot in the late 80's and early 90's.
Anyway, wanted to congratulate you guys on that mouseover that shows relative rainfall in different sectors around the country. It is rare that I see something new on the net, especially from the smaller sites (e.g. - versus Amazon, Yahoo, etc).
Keep up the great work!
—C.S.



You are a great resource and I can only guess how many people you have given excellent advice to about Costa Rica. I hope your website continues to do well! I checked out your “No cost things you can do to keep Costa-Rica-Guide.com alive” page and I’d like to submit writings and/or pictures upon my return. I will also make all further Amazon and Barnes & Noble purchases through your website. It’s the least I can do! Mil gracias,
—B.S., U.S.A.



You have got the most INCREDIBLE website
THANK YOU !!!
—C.O.
