What is it like to live in Samara Costa Rica?

Answer time!

You  might live in Samara if:

• You think you are in a real life TV series called Eaten Alive
  
• You buy your laundry BAR (yes it is solid not powder or liquid) in Cilantro Lime Scent
• If you see something in the grocery store you like, you excitedly buy it NOW because it probably won't be there next time.
• You get ecstatic  when you go to a market in another town that has SELECTION so much so, that you take pictures, videos, etc and show them to everyone in Samara because of it's awesomeness!
  (not even kidding-can you believe how huge this market is?!)
• You expect severe carsickness when you go on the bus because the roads are so wild.
  (we were so excited and had no idea how sick we were going to get!)
• You wake up to the sound of howler monkeys every morning!
• You love mornings now (even if you are still sleepy)
• Every day you see several crabs (pinch pinch pinch pinch)
•  Daily trips to the grocery store are no longer a nuisance (PURA VIDA)
• You walk and walk and walk and walk some more every day
• You don't watch TV ever!
• When you see ants or spiders or mystery bugs or lizards in your house you nod to eachother and both continue along your way.
•  You no longer freak out when you walk into a spider web, you just tell the people behind you that you made a nice web-free path for them to walk on
• You recognize, if not know everyone's name, in town
• You pick fruit and peppers everywhere
• You probably have bananas hanging somewhere around your porch (perhaps next to other fruit)
• You eat amazing fruit daily
  Face-sized mango!
  
  
  
• You don't know what bra and underwear are anymore, swimsuit is the only thing you know now
• When it rains (and sometimes when it doesn't) you recognize certain roads are now completely impassible because -why build a bridge when there is a river- silly people think they need to get everywhere everyday in the states.
• You probably know someone (or a few people) that have had dengue
•  If you hear a car with a megaphone on top making announcements, you listen closely because you either could buy some really cheap produce, or your water is going to be turned off tomorrow for workers
• When you feel an earthquake or loose power you don't question anything as unusual
•  When it rains like crazy all the time, you just cover up, laugh a little, and don't miss a beat in your day
  
• When you go to fast food you are impressed by the quality and how great it is that you got it in only 20 mins (how did she do that so fast!?)
• You no longer rush for anything and restaurants are for taking your time
• You eat Casados every day
• You always "glow" from humidity/sweat
• You don't wear jeans because you can wash but it will never dry
• Your only two hairstyles are "messy" and "wet"
• You love love love where you live!

Everyone  is FREE here! People are always about, everyone is smiling and knows your name, and animals and horses roam town all day before they head home to their families (gates are totally unnecessary)

Well I'm done for the day, thanks for reading and Pura Vida todos!
