Motorcycle
Touring In Costa Rica - Sun, Surf And Street
Most American tourists head to Costa Rica for the sun and surf-at
least those who don't intend to retire there. That's a pity. Then
again, maybe not: It just leaves the roads less congested.

They Don't Play Hockey
in Costa Rica
Well, I have returned
from my week long winter
vacation in the
wonderful Costa Rica.
And after nine days in
the Central American
country, after seeing
numerous wildlife,
including seven foot
iguanas, poisonous
frogs, I have made the
following discovery:
They don’t play hockey
in Costa Rica.

Close Encounters in
Costa Rica
The first group of
hammerhead sharks came
straight toward us.
They're almost four metres long and their
self-confident approach
made us take cover
behind some rocks.

landscape. This year,
however, Small

Costa Rica urges
travelers to eschew the
snow and celebrate the

climate.

No Shoes Required
As I was hanging
hundreds of feet above
firm ground, dangling by
two pieces of steel and
preparing to plunge
myself into the treetops
of a Costa Rican
rainforest, I thought of
a former co-worker.
During a company
retreat, I had been
stunned to discover that
this New York City bred
guy had never walked in
the woods, or even
stepped outdoors without
shoes.

Costa Rica: Mud, Monkeys
And Macho Men
It was one of those
things I was glad to
have done, even if I did
watch most of it through
my fingers. It was
fiesta season in Santa
Cruz, Costa Rica, and
the whole town was out
in force to celebrate
its culture and its
cowboys. An angry
looking bull bucked its
way round the bullring
while a sexy sabanero
clung to its back. When
the beast at last
prevailed and the rider
fell, half the town’s
youth ran into the ring
and taunted the poor
animal into charging
them.

When in Costa Rica, take the bus
On a bus traveling through the

sat next to a young, Los Angeles

this is beautiful, you should
check out Costa Rica."

Turtle power in Costa Rica
Ostional is a four-mile stretch
of black-sand beach in northwest
Costa Rica. You probably haven’t
heard of it – not many people
have – but every year it plays
host to one of the most
dramatic, enormous,
mind-blowing, jaw-dropping
spectacles in nature.

Couple Escapes To An Exotic Life
Four years ago, just as the
city's economic boom gained
steam and sent house prices
skyward, Dave Dolezsar and his
wife Monica quit their lucrative
oilpatch jobs, sold everything
and left Calgary in search of
paradise.
