On May 6 and May 7, 2008, I'll be doing a drive-around / walkabout tour of some of the towns around SJ with a hired bi-lingual van driver (perhaps Juan Carlos from the SL). I'm doing this to get the flavor of some of the areas so I can better know which areas I should focus on for a possible future extended stay and ultimate relocation. These are day trips of about 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and at a slow pace with plenty of time for stops to see things, get out and walk and grab a beer and a bite or two or three in several different, mostly tico areas of the out-lying towns. It should be a fairly informative tour.

This is not-for-profit and the cost of the driver/van would be shared equally; about $80 to $100 total for each day, I'd guess, depending on the number going; so if two or more go, it'd be a fairly cheap day. I'm doing the tour regardless of the cost myself but thought that seeing the areas thru several sets of discerning eyes would be better than mine alone. If you have any interest in seeing some of the outlying areas on one or both of these dates, post here or send me a note.
