Pura Vida

At your center you are dirty. Grimy. Noisy. Busy.

At your edges you are lush. Voluptuous. Green.

In between you are rugged. Treacherous.

At all times and all places you are hot. Steamy.

As a man you are hard-working. Self-respecting. Friendly. As a woman you are the much the same, and at most times dazzlingly beautiful.

You are sad. Poor. Underprivileged. Yet you are proud. Strong.

I only knew you briefly, but I am glad I met you.

You are Costa Rica.

Odd. The food was like bland Mexican. Lots of rice and beand, only the latter was rarely refried. And they really love roast chicken, as there were at least four different restaurant chains dedicated to the delicacy.
