Noam Chomsky: "The Emerging World Order: its roots, our legacy"

[chervilant]

11. Hmm...

I have long known I would return to the Ozarks to finish my days. I am 56, and determined to be vital and healthy through the end of my time on Earth. I dearly love the Ozarks, and am well versed in this growing zone.

I am wondering how you would feel about Costa Rica. My nephew and his wife and daughter have acquired a beautiful, beachfront property near Puerto Jiminez for very little money. They have mango, lime, papaya, coconuts, and pineapples growing on their land. I had my first fresh lychees there!

The temperature in Puerto Jiminez is about 85 F all year round. I found it comfortable--only once did the humidity seem stifling. If you get too hot, the ocean is just a few steps away.

We saw whales and dolphins. My BIL and nephews watched a sea turtle emerge from the surf, dig her nest, and lay eggs. The next morning, we chased caracaras (scavenger birds) away from the nest. Red macaws, spider monkeys, capuchins, howlers, and pacas are abundant. In fact, the flora and fauna are stunningly beautiful. I am so very glad I got to experience that ecosystem.

All that being said, I wish you good luck finding the property you want.
