    would you touch base on volcanic activity in this region and frequency?

    A few years ago, there was a lot of volcanic activity in the Central Valley. My friends that have respiratory issues had problems during that time. Where I am in Guanacaste, the closest volcano is 100 km from me. We haven't had any issues. Yet we do feel earthquakes often.

    I will talk with some friends and learn more about the volcanic activity the expereince in the Central Valley and share more about this at the conference in May-- and will post about it on the IL Costa Rica Community page too.

          Thanks for the excellent info on Costa Rica! Can you share any details on water quality? Is it safe to drink? And how is wastewater handled? One other question...what about any wildlife hazards like poisonous snakes, spders, etc?

          Thanks,

          David

                      Hi everyone – Jennifer Stevens here.

                      I noticed there’s been a bit of confusion about today’s workshop, so I wanted to clear things up.

                      You can join the workshop right here on this page. At the top, you’ll see a video player—that’s where the broadcast will begin at 11 AM ET.

                      You do not need a separate link, and there’s no need to log into Zoom. The presentation will take place directly on this page.

                      If you can’t make it live, don’t worry—a recording will be posted here shortly after the workshop ends.

                      Hope this clears things up!

                      IMPORTANT: Please send your Costa Rica questions for JMA in on this page.

                          @KENNETHHTC Hi Kenneth, the recording should appear at the top of your screen, between the post title and the description. Use the play button (circled in red in this image) to start the video.

                            The green portion of the page under the title is blank - no sign of any video whatsoever. No change with a refresh or different browser.

                              Hi!
                              I’m new to the IL community.
                              And I’ve been abundantly busy since joining several months ago.
                              Where can I find the replay and schedule for all of the seminars?

                              kindly, Rivkah

                                [vimeo url=https://vimeo.com/1066950885]

                                John Michael Arthur, a frequent contributor to IL—and for many years a correspondent of ours—has lived in Costa Rica for over a decade. He’s a true insider. And he knows this “hidden” part of Costa Rica well. In this place, the temperate climate ensures you’re comfortable year-round, top-rate healthcare is close at hand, and property prices are shockingly low. John will be live at 11:00 am Eastern on Thursday, March 27!

                                  I live in Guanacaste, and we have lots of bugs. Costa Rica contains about 5% of the world's biodiversity, which is impressive for such a small country! Personally, I don't get many mosquito bites. We do have scorpions, but they are not deadly. We have these big flying insects we call langostas, which often freak people out but do not harm. I have seen tarantulas in my yard. I usually see ants in my house. I have used a liquid they eat and take back with them that gets rid of them, but I don't use that often. I spray my house sometimes (especially when guests visit) to ensure no scorpions are around.

                                    I drink water from the tap at my house near Playa Tamarindo and throughout the country. My community has a waste processing plant... some friends have septic tanks on their properties.
                                    There are poisonous snakes. I saw a rattle snake once in my neightborhood. In the mountains you need to be aware and careful.
