The second day I was there, I got to start looking at property. Seems everyone here and their mother has a lot or a finca, farm, to sell. The most interesting one I looked at was 16 hectares, which works out to about 25 acres, I think, of mixed land pasture, old growth trees and going down to a river. Also had electric and road access. We went on horseback through the fields and woods to look over the property. Keep in mind I have not been on a horse for about 20 years, and this gets more interesting...The horse I had was wonderful, he seemed to read my mind, and took a very gentle lead. However, he liked to run, and would try to move faster every opportunity he got. And although I didn't know the Spanish commands, he was highly intuitive, and we had a lot of fun, including a quick trot on the road at the end of the trip.

About Me
- Name: roni
- Location: Costa Rica
In April of 2005, I sold my house and most of my possessions, and decided to look around for a while to see what else there is for me in this life. Previously a fine artist, a web and graphic designer, I did seven years as a corporate project manager designing internet tools. Caught between unfulfillment, and disturbed by the direction my country of birth is taking, I'm seeking a life more harmonious with my values - living simply in a warm climate, more sustainably and gently on the planet.

One acre is .4 hectares, and one hectare is 2.5 acres (well, 2.47 to be more exact). Good conversion to remember.
Glad you're having so much fun!
Love,
Rosana
