Costa Rican Women

Costa Rican women are not any different than women all over the world. The mix of races here means there are so many very attractive shades of skin. Costa Ricans come in every color of the rainbow, from African, Asian and European, to the indigenous races in this province of Guanacaste.

There are some interesting things about Ticas. They rarely leave the house without makeup and being dressed well. I have seen no one in sweat pants here,(its also too hot for sweatpants!). They love chunky jewelry and their earrings could choke a horse. I suspect that some of them do not possess shoes without a 3" heel. They seem to have no aversion to visible panty lines, and wear bare midriffs when its not necessarily a good idea.

One of the younger girls at the language school said the funniest thing about the women here. She said, "Have you noticed how they have such nice figures when they are young, but after they have a couple of kids their figure is not so great?" We all died laughing and assured her that this is not purely a Costa Rican phenomenom by a long shot.

There are some very attractive women here, that dress very provocatively to say the least. Combine that with a culture that is "overly" friendly,(at least to uptight gringo ideals) and you have a country where its not torturous to be a man.

All that aside, I still feel like I´m starving to death in a Chinese buffet, and all I want is Mexican food, my own enchilada at home...

I miss my wife.
