[QUOTE="Jhonn, post: 384413, member: 5418"]Oh, I met quite a few American AND British ex-pats there, especially where we were staying (Puerto Viejo)...and I'm sure I could have found a bank teller fluent in English, but I prefer to use Spanish when I can. The scenery is certainly beautiful. I would love to visit other Central American countries (Panama, Belize, Guatemala), but it would be hard not to choose Costa Rica over the others since it's such a nice country. Didn't get to see Arenal this time around...or last time for that matter. Maybe on my third trip there? :rolleyes: And Frank, if you want a copy, I will definitely order an extra one as long as they let me order them in the first place. If anyone else would like to order a copy through me, PM me and I'll let you know if it's feasible or not! $3, in Spanish and English, full-color...published by the Museos del Banco Central and certainly the most comprehensive book (booklet?) on official Costa Rican counterstamps! They also had a huge color book detailing their entire collection for about $50, and another book just on Costa Rican coffee plantation tokens! Talk about specialized reading...[/QUOTE]
