Homes for sale and homes for rent in Santa Ana, San José, Costa Rica | Newsletters

Internet Woes:  AMNET has been better this week but still not 100%.....that's life here.

Dogs!:  I've contacted several agencies and universities to study some of our Los Jardines dogs because I'm told they don't poo..  this must be a new species of life form.

Bar-B-Q:  We replaced one of the two public bar-b-qs. It was getting a bit long in the tooth and one of the two valves was not working correctly.  We'll have to assemble it and then modify the built in space where it is to fit but when completed, it should last a long time.
