Brian Timmons Dear friends, When I started Residencias Los Jardines, I started writing a weekly newsletter -determined to tell all the good, bad, and the ugly. I knew some readers would be interested in the construction process. I expected others might be interested in the lifestyle of two people who had decided to live outside the box. For others, the adventures of Lita, the parrot and the cat took on an entertainment saga all its own. Residencias Los Jardines is finished. We periodically have re-sales and rental availability. Some readers may be interested in this information. Brian Timmons |

rentals & sales Paradisus Condos / Rohrmoser Each of the units consists of two bedrooms / two bathrooms, and a large living/dining/kitchen area. The floor plan of each of these units has eliminated the optional "den / office" divider. The result is a larger area offering more flexible furniture arrangements while still maintaining the option of including an office area. At 105m2 plus two parking spots each and storage locker, they offer a great opportunity for someone seeking views, security, central location, and first class, all round living... PRICE REDUCTION |

Our Lives
Weather: The dry season... is not here yet... Residencias Los Jardines: Deferred maintenance continues to be done and we continue to move in the right direction. The new administration replaced 73 burned out light bulbs... wow!!!!!! Why these were allowed to burn out and were not be replaced????? The answer is "cultural differences". And the person who was responsible for their maintenance, now wants "more lighting". Wow... Cultural Differences: We just returned from a quick trip to Toronto. WestJet does a great, great job... wow!!!!!! almost a pleasure to fly... Retraced some steps from June... I had to see a few friends... it may well be my last time to say "goodbye" -some are older than me, some in various states of health... and hopefully, I'll be seeing all again,but if not... Technology works there... transportation works... setting appointments works... food was mediocre except for home cooking and restaurant prices are expensive... beer was great (getting better in CR with micro-brewers around), the prices there are ridiculous... a 2lb chicken $12 Cdn / a 6 lb chicken here $5 US... Everything there is pay, pay, pay, pay... and in CR, I actually got my driver's license with picture on it in 15 min... in Toronto it will be 6 weeks... Saw a tremendous amount of infrastructure construction underway... Torontonians are complaining bitterly about traffic... CR / Central Valley has it's problems... both are bad for sure... It was great to meet up with family and some friends... we didn't have time for everyone... but we are still glad to be back... no more out of country trips for a while... I like it here... warts and all... |
News Items of the Week
Comments 1. "Cementgate" continues to be the biggest scandal in this administration's time... and it seems the rot goes right to the top... and the American Chamber of Commerce is getting in on the call. 2 / 3. Bus Drivers: are unhappy about not the defacto rate setting that occurred... Typical CR... don't deal with the issue until it becomes a crisis...
