Echo?
I’m alive and well, too well perhaps. That is to say, when life is satisfying, I find that I have much less to write about. And if blog silence is any measure of happiness, I am deeply content.
That said, I apologize for having disappeared into the nothingness. I do have thoughts bumping around in my head, things that I wish to discuss. Such as my theory that tico culture is inherently passive-aggressive. Or the homesickness that has crept up on me… I miss the smell of autumn! And the peacefulness that I’ve found in my life, largely thanks to a simpler and slower lifestyle. There are so many things, but I currently lack the energy or drive to write them. Sometime soon, I hope to revive this blog (if there’s anyone still reading, of course), but I first need to knock down my writer’s wall, block by block.
In the meantime, I extend my apologies to all, and thank you for your patience.
Hello, glad to know from you again. I wish everything is going well for you though. Hope you can write more often jeje.
Saludos…
P.D.: You could write something on your twitter too :P. jeje
Welcome back!
I knew you couldn’t resist the pull and had to come back, sooner or later, to post something, even if it’s nothing more than barely a teaser. At least, it reassures me that it’s not in vain that I’ve kept an eye on Gringuitica all these past weeks (months?!).

Hey, are we gonna be neighbors soon now?
Thanks guys, I’ll try to write in the next week (I’ll be on vacay, so the perfect time to write a bit).
@Oscar: Nov. 22! I cannot WAIT!
Hi!
Nice work! Keep it up!
Greetings!
Jorge V.
I miss you, Ive been checking at lest once a week!
I hear you on all counts! I’m into my new life here and it all seems so normal and satisfying (for the most part) that it just doesn’t seem NewWorthy… but I’m trying to stay on top of it. Nice to hear you again and to know things are good.
The passive-aggressive thing: I was talking to a friend about that just yesterday. I think it’s why even the most mild-mannered tico becomes so ferocious while driving…
Pura vida back atcha - see you.
I’m glad you’re back! I stumbled across your blog a couple of months ago and was immediately interested as I had just come back from a failed attempt to do TEFL in South America. It took a month, but I got the interviews, got the job offers, but ultimately got so homesick that I came home. I was in Buenos Aires - there were a lot of reasons that I picked BA over other South American cities, but was ultimately disappointed. Once I got there I realized that the whole reason I wanted to do TEFL was so that I could experience life in a foreign, Spanish-speaking environment at a slower pace than my life in the U.S. Anyways, I really enjoyed reading your blog entries and admired your optimism and courage.
It’s so nice to see you back. Every now and then I would open your page only to find that there were no new blog entries. I wasn’t sure if that was a good or bad thing. I’m happy to hear that things are going well for you and I look forward to your next writing. Pura Vida y Feliz Dia de Pavo tambien!
I look forward to your writing on passive-aggressive tico culture, if that’s what you intend to do.
Hi Gringuitica,
You should I hope that you will be back in your writing mode soon. I started following your blog last year and I found it very interesting and full useful information as well as entertaining.
As an Expat myself, its always nice to read about other people’s experiences in CR.
Hope all is well,
Fred
