going on?" --Jay Leno

Subject: why?
hi lisa,
I'm only a part time expat! I haven't left the US. I live in Alabama half of the year and Costa Rica the other half. I am now enjoying a small investment I made down here inspired by the Bush theft of the presidency involving my beloved state, Florida. Costa Rican real estate has at least tripled in the 5 years since I first invested here, at a much higher rate than in the states. I sold my Florida home before the real estate prices plummeted, Lucky moves? Probably. But I always felt Bush and the GOP would ruin the economy and I wanted to invest outside of the US, if my fears came true.
I'm returning to the states next week and I dread the feeling I get when I turn on the TV or the radio -- I feel pummeled with right wing propaganda. That doesn't exist down here. Of course, modern conveniences, such as electricity access is often compromised here in CR, but that is getting better! And so are the roads!
I don't know anything you don't, I just acted on it quickly.
I'm going to flip my house in Alabama and reinvest in the states in the near future. It's one of my many occupations to keep my head above the water!
