Friday Day 11

Movie night at the Altos de Antigua swimming pool was our first social event in Costa Rica. We met several expat residents and watched the “Best Exotic Marigold Hotel”.

The Real Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

Funny how appropriate that movie seemed to be—race relations, care for the elderly, medical tourism, bigotry—it hit many of the themes you find in an expat community living in a foreign land  and this group loved it. As the new kids on the block we felt right at home among this group of North Americans—Canadians, as well as a few Indians and Africans mixed in for good measure.

Experiencing the different cultures of Costa Rica is one of the reasons we are here.
