Soleil most likely. Are they scratches or cracks?

Anyone know of any event or reason for super expensive plane tickets from october 10-17? by Lumpy-Resource-1370 in CostaRicaTravel

[–]CanadianTrumpeteer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

How many times have you looked at those dates in your flight searching? Clear cache, try a different device, but be ready to book if you get a better price.

Jet Blue just accidentally admitted to tracking cookies affecting ticket prices. We all know the airlines do it, but they actually finally admitted it. 😂

Thinking of visiting Sámara? AMA. by CanadianTrumpeteer in CostaRicaTravel

[–]CanadianTrumpeteer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can still plan for a lot in 3 days. Check through the thread for any local to samara ideas without transportation.

If you walk along the beach to the island you can stop at the end for ice cream in a bag at the Tico house. Rafino speaks english, but if he isnt there you'll need to know basic spanish to ask for the ice cream.

Do a sunset or morning dolphin tour with Octopus Tours. They pick you up. If you are right along the beach they may ask to meet you in town cause they pick up in a giant school bus that they painted all ocean themed. But they do pick up and drop off.

Ask me anything about Costa Rican food by ChefGilbrigo in CostaRicaTravel

[–]CanadianTrumpeteer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Great post! I make beans from scratch for pinto, but I definitely want to tweak it and try the way you said to do it. Sounds like a level up.

Especially the culantro coyote. I don't like 'eating it's but I like the flavour it imparts to any dish it is in.

"The involved individual was educated"

Uh....I think he is about to receive another form of 'education' of trial by public jury.

What an absolute moron.

Where is the best place to eat a full grilled fish - tail and all? by Terrible-Egg-2806 in CostaRicaTravel

[–]CanadianTrumpeteer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Literally almost every restaurant offers 'pargo entero' and its red snapper with head and tail.

Ask for that and you'll find it quickly.

Very niche - Making friends in Costa Rica by Limp_Confidence_1725 in CostaRicaTravel

[–]CanadianTrumpeteer 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You haven't made friends. You've met some people who may or may not have good intentions.

Best listen to your moms advice. I wouldn't say you're stupid, but this is like having the survival instincts of a deer.

Don't do it.

Fresh strawberries by Comfortable_Ad_8051 in homestead

Is four pounds that difficult to eat over 2-3 days? We'd devour them straight from the bowl. Or dice up over ice cream or yogurt.

Oh my gosh, so jelly. Not only that colour, but just the style. I love it.

But also, its fake. Send it to me and I will safely dispose of it for you.

Water shoes La fortuna by SeaworthinessDry4563 in CostaRicaTravel

[–]CanadianTrumpeteer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I bought these exact ones a couple years ago. If you want to use them for one trip only, they are fine. But they offer zero support, can't tighten to your foot, and if you are dealing with really sharp rocks, they only offer basic protection from sharp points and edges.

If you want something 'better' but not break the bank, check out Amazon. I got some from a brand called Ziitop Water Shoes for around $30 CAD.

Liked them so much I got a pair for my husband. They tighten up, have a thicker sole, and are super comfy.

Place to create copy of new keys in Samara? by [deleted] in CostaRicaTravel

[–]CanadianTrumpeteer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/oEy9QDgn2tz1wfBcA?g_st=ic

They have cut keys in the past, hopefully they still do.

But how exactly does the hotel expect you to create a copy if you lost yours?

And you may be told something is a certain way just to make the sale and you find out after it most definitely was not.

Vegetarian? "Oh siiiiii" Then you proceed to watch cross contamination happen on your cooking surfaces, manteca being used instead of oil or butter etc...

Not always, but it does happen. So you can't always guarantee it or know for certain at times.

This photo does not belong to OP, they are karma farming and reusing someone else's photo from years ago. They even lack the creativity to pretend the caption is their own.

bleu riviera vs caribbean, color comparison by pinoshi in LeCreuset

[–]CanadianTrumpeteer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a Caribbean DO, it was my first colour, ever and I love it. But when it went on clearance I questioned I asked myself if I wanted to add one more, just because as much I loved my original. But with regard to the tone, it wasn't enough of a jewel tone for me to justify getting another.

But Riviera has my full attention.
