In reply to Sally O’Boyle.

I know what you mean – I remember on a visit to a winery in Germany our host showing us around the family restaurant, which had been in continuous operation for more than 800 years; or standing in the Pantheon in Rome and realizing that it was in better shape at 1000 years old than many “historic” structures in the U.S. at less than 200….

I like the idea of both of the sites if you can keep up with them. Actually, I think the “abroadintheusa” idea is fantastic – as you noted, even if in relation to CR, people just don’t take the time to see the world around them, even locally. And the health idea is certainly something that will always have a readership, especially if you’re doing the research for your readers.

Formerly of abroadincostarica.com which is now abroadintheusa.com… thinking of abandoning that entirely for my new http://www.fiftytolife.com which is about obtaining Vibrant Health for my next 50 years. What do you think of that idea? I’m very excited about it (have not got it all widgeted up yet) and it’s a topic I’m totally into. Whereas, abroadintheusa has no focus and, frankly, what’s so interesting about the usa that I could fill a blog with funny stuff? There is little fun or funny about the usa today.

Ok, I’m writing a blog post here. Just trying this on for size. Would love your take on this idea.

And now back to you: love this post. I wish I’d done more historical investigation in Costa Rica (next time, lol!) I remember when I went to London in ’04 and was presented with some REAL history. I was stunned. I knew it was a tad older than the U.S. (I went to high school in KY, remember) but I was unprepared for how it hit me.

In Key West, selling houses, we used to brag about 100 year old homes… seemed kinda silly after being in London. What if I went to Egypt???

Pura vida, thanks for a refreshing history tour!
