Guys I am GUILTY......VERY GUILTY......
GUILTY..of first really learning about CR in the late 1980's when a professor told me it was a place where corporate embezzlers and other fugitives went to live as millionaires with impunity. There was mention of chicas but only a sidebar. I was interested not so b/c I wanted to do this but just that people would go there, not get caught and live like kings. I always wanted to go just to see these types. I was young then.
GUILTY...after thinking CR is primarily known as a haven for embezzlers, I then thought of it secondary as a tax haven, thirdly as a world class fishing destination....This was in the 90's.
GUILTY...of over dressing in CR.
GUILTY...of wearing shorts and Hawian shirts everywhere.
GUILTY...of knowing about the women in CR but really more interested in finding freebies while going for the phenomenal fishing. Didn't even know about HDR, KL, ZB, or NF.
GUILTY...I knew little of the P4P scene but learned much more as I researched prior to my fishing trip which is probably when I first learned of CRT.
GUILTY... of making my first trip to CR to go fishing and look at a real estate development an associate wanted me to invest in.
GUILTY...for coming back primarily for the chicas and the phucking.
GUILTY...for going to CR and primarily chasing civilians.
GUILTY...for mostly being too much of a solo player. And not socializing with the brethren enough.
GUILTY...for not following up with more fishing, ATV tours, Canopy tours, driving more of the country and exploring more. Hola B's rec. seems good. Not just GUILTY, a bit embaassed.
GUILTY...for not even seeing the Museum de Oro.
GUILTY...for exercising at the fitness center at my hotel in CR on more than one occasion. Fun, no. But good to sweat the toxins out and follow up with a NF steam.
GUILTY...for jogging the hills(felt like mountains) of Manuel Antonio 5 days straight in summer heat.
GUILTY...speaking of toxins, GUILTY of drinking too much and getting hammered in CR. Notably, my first few nights and a couple of trips, every night of a trip.
GUILTY...of sometimes just drinking, partying, and dancing and not bagging a chica in a single night. Hell, in Quepos sometimes 2 nights in a row
GUILTY..of an addiction to The Gulch...and not getting out of it more.
GUILTY..of doing CR my way while seeing every one else's do CR their way. That's part of it and even makes it interesting.
Everyone, wether you like drinking to oblivion, throwing around cash(but why spoil the chicas), phucking like crazy, fishing, golfing(I've been invited on more than a few occassions), dancing, bowling(I've done it there), biking, medical tourism, whatever....enjoy CR your way.
This thread as spiraled out of control

And that's part of it, too.
PURA VIDA!
