Sad news another CRT Legend has passed.
When I first come to CRT as a newbie almost 9 years ago, I was avid reader of PacoLoco here on CRT. He was sarcastic and funny, and he appeared to know his way around Costa Rica, so I followed him closely. I cut my teeth in our hobby on his wise cracking humor and more sober and informative trip reports. He spend many hours crafting great trip reports with pics of... shoes, food, and o yes some hot flacas. He was fond of flacas. Subsequently we would meet and travel together not only to Costa Rica but to Medellin and the Dominican Republic. He joined me and GR in Sosua to celebrate my 50th bd. He was truly a monger’s monger. He kept it very simple. He had zero tolerance for “novia drama” It was strictly “catch and release” in it’s purest sense with him. Never once did he ever intimate that he was getting sweet on a working chica, that he had a novia, etc etc. He derided and made jokes about those of us who did. But he was always a gentleman monger in line with the original spirit of Costa Rica Ticas.
In his over 10,000 posts there are some absolute gems and I would encourage anyone to kill a few hours a
nd check out some of the funny threads he started… hysterical stuff and satire re: our hobby.
RIP Amigo… sucks you had to go so soon
