So Edward1958, would you please be kind enough to expand on your comment in your 12 February 2015 post that someone needs to stress "you are a Canadian and not a gringo" when they get down here to CR? and further, that it is "very important to do so". I am not clear what your really trying to say in that post. Is this a Canadian club issue or are you saying the Ticos distinguish between Yanks and Canadians? If so, please clue me in as to how and why. thanks. gary
