Ticos






Ladies and gentleman, I would like to conclude my blogging session on Costa Rica with this last post about my favorite part of CR...the locals.  I've never met more friendly, genuine and open hearted people on a vacation.  Ticos have a spirit of kindness and love which resonates in their delicious cuisine, gorgeous well-kept country and humble traditions.  Ticos have a saying 'Pura Vida' which means 'Full of Life'.  It can also be used as a greeting or farewell, to express satisfaction, or even used as a thank you.  But really I've learned through my vacation that this phase perfectly describes their culture...which is a motto of living life slowly, enjoying good fortune and building a strong community.  PURA VIDA!
