"PURA VIDA" is the essential Tico expression - often used as a general comment, greeting, or anticipation of a favorite event. But more than that, it is a description of their ATTITUDE TOWARD LIFE. Life is NOT constant work, or "shop until you drop" consumerism, or "party hearty" hedonism. It is PURE LIFE - an appreciation of what God has given us, and time to enjoy it !
@@WandatheTravelingDutchie Yes, it took us some time to understand "Pura Vida" - as we moved from the USA where everything is "work, work, hurry, hurry, buy, buy - repeat". Wish we could move back NOW, but still awaiting the implementation of the "retiree law" which allows us to bring our car & personal items WITHOUT paying import duty !
