We went on a trip to Costa Rica recently, thought Id share some pics:
Spent half the time with her family/friends, the other half touring around the country, some highlights:

The roads are in incredible shape, think Appalachian mountains set in a tropical setting, and you're not far off

There are LOTS of bikes and riders everywhere, the commuters use old small cc no-name chinese bikes, the recreational riders use the same cool european/japanese bikes like we do.

She had to go to the ER for a minor beach injury and had my first experience with private healthcare, its superior in every way.

The most impressive part of the country is you can go from urban setting, to tropical and biodiverse jungle, to spectacular beaches, and big mountains all within a 2 hour drive.

I also like that they can be environmentalists and conservationists while still keeping old/cool cars and bikes and not be so anal and anti fossil fuel

All in all, a pretty chill country with chill people

All we want to know is, who is 'her'?

Sounds like a sick trip.

Agreed. We loved it there and found it very safe exploring all over by ourselves. Good food as well.

Glad to hear you’re enjoying life!
Hope you get a decent helmet for your (temporary-ish) passenger

On the Caribbean side you can go from mountain to jungle to beach on a 15 min walk! That's my favourite part of Costa Rica but it’s a PITA to get to. Worth it though as there's less tourists than the Pacific side.

been here 5 years waiting for you all to wake up and leave.....

The roads are not great, excellent off road almost anywhere, but there are potholes, endless speed bumps (since there is little enforcement) except in the capital area.
I have a H2SX i leave in USA as there are zero roads in the entire country to to open it up . only 2 lane in one direction is the capital region. So , no the roads are not good by North american standards. They fail all the time in the rainy season.

Health care 1000x better here than in chinada. Private and public available. Dental about 2/5thfor implants, etc.
