Costa Rica Expat’s Bus Journey to the Border: A Ride Like No Other

Image
I can’t say what compelled me to buy a ticket to the border on a collectivo bus . I got to the station too early. The time on the ticket was approximate as the bus was on its way from San Jose, a few dozen stops in between there and here. When the bus arrived, I boarded and saw a woman snoozing in my assigned seat, so I grabbed seat number 4, directly behind the driver. It is always an interesting place to sit. I like sitting behind the pilot on the Cessna flights over the mountains to San Jose, so I can keep my eye on the altimeter for that long couple minutes when the plane disappears completely in the clouds. As we pulled from the station and headed south, I kept one eye on the driver. Early on, I heard him answer his cell phone and converse over speakerphone with a woman who further conversation revealed to be the mother of his child. I leaned forward in my seat as if stretching; in truth I was checking to make sure he had both hands on the wheel. His phone was in a holder, whic...

Costa Rica Pushes USA to the Brink but Falls in Penalty Heartbreak

If you just caught the end of the USA vs. Costa Rica Gold Cup quarterfinal, you probably feel like you need another cup of coffee—and maybe a moment to catch your breath. The match, which wrapped up just about half an hour ago, ended in a dramatic penalty shootout after a wild 2-2 draw in regulation. The United States came out on top, 4-3 on penalties, and now moves on to the semifinals. The game started with Costa Rica looking sharp. In the 12th minute, Francisco Calvo put them ahead from the penalty spot, coolly slotting home after a foul in the box. The early goal set the tone for a tense first half, but the USA gradually found their rhythm. Just before halftime, Diego Luna scored his first international goal to level the match, sending the teams into the break at 1-1. The second half kicked off with the USA taking the lead almost immediately. Max Arfsten, another young American, made it 2-1 with his first goal for the national team in the 47th minute. For a while, it looked like ...

Costa Rica’s Jícaro Reef Dies: Climate Change and Tourism Take Their Toll

The Jícaro reef, located in Culebra Bay, Guanacaste, has died. According to records from the Center for Marine Science and Limnology Research (Cimar-UCR), which has been monitoring the area since the 1990s, its decline is due to a combination of factors such as increasing water temperature, mass tourism, and pollution caused by urban growth. The El Niño phenomenon has led to a significant rise in sea temperature. According to experts, it reached 33°C, exceeding the tolerable thermal threshold for corals, which prefer temperatures close to 28°C. In just a few weeks of high and sustained temperatures, the reef at Jícaro beach experienced total bleaching in August. On the other hand, Bahía Culebra is situated on the Papagayo Peninsula, a locale characterized by massive tourist visitation, luxury hotels, and construction everywhere. The boats used by visitors with significant purchasing power, as well as jet skis and other activities they engage in, exert considerable pressure on the ree...
