I know. They’ve got a pretty good leader in Oscar Arias Sanchez, and a fairly representative government, but no army (only a national guard) to protect their relative wealth.
There are a lot of retired ex-military moving to Costa Rica I'm told. I know one guy in particular that is a former Green Beret who moved down there about 10 years ago. That might come in handy, but I just don't trust the stability of those little countries down that way. I'm sure Costa Rica is nice, but their neighbor to the north "elected" Daniel Ortega to be President again.
The fight isn't over here yet, though. Too soon to be talking about escaping.....
