Costa Rica is a great place. I've enjoyed vacationing there, have business contacts there, and wouldn't mind living in Costa Rica part-time (if I could afford it)... many Americans live there and love it. However, in my associations with some Costa Rican entrepreneur types, there is a general sense of uneasiness regarding their neighbors. I respect their choosing not to have a standing military, but some feel their security and livelihood is fragile.
