Things I’ve learned in Costa Rica 🇨🇷 in the first 24 hours

Morning overlooking the ocean

  • When you ask for “breakfast sausage”, they will come back with hot dog wieners.

  • In the hills of CR, you will have reptilian friends that come and visit you right outside the glass doors.

Reptilian friend

  • When they say “you may need a 4x4 vehicle”, for the love of God, insist on a 4x4-capable vehicle. We had to deal with a big hill in NC several years ago. This is a frickin’ mountain.

  • Not all beaches are made the same way.

  • The humidity is NO JOKE. It seems to be the start of rainy season (which it was not when we first came here in 2020).

  • Cicadas are called chicharras here.

  • CR is two hours behind Atlanta, despite being almost due south. I don’t know how or why. (One thing is they don’t observe daylight savings time.)
