TRAVEL & TOURISM |
Costa Rica A Great Haven for Tourists
If you greet someone in Costa
Rica with “Como estas?” (How are you?), they’ll respond with a smile, “Muy bueno,
pura vida!” (Very well, pure life!)
Is the pervasive well-being of these citizens, their pura vida, due to their
wisdom, or is it “pura suerte” (pure luck)?
We all have heard the parable of the goose that laid the golden eggs, killed by
a greedy, short-sighted ignoramus is order to get all the eggs, only to discover
that the goose had to be alive in order to keep laying. Duh. We’re just back
from a land that has a golden goose, only the people there nurture it, feed it,
and take special care of it, and it keeps on laying golden eggs, year after year
after year.
