People sometimes ask if the expats get together here in Puerto Armuelles.
They do.
Currently, the only regularly scheduled event is Sunday afternoon horseshoes at the Tsunami Inn.
You don’t need to actually play horseshoes to go. Some people, like me, go to socialize. However, players are very welcome.
And other expat get togethers just seem to happen.
Corazon de Jesus BBQ
For instance, on President’s Day, we had a get together in Corazon de Jesus (see photos).
In this case, my husband, Reyn, initiated the get together.
Recently, a number of Americans and Canadians have been renting places in the Corazon de Jesus neighborhood. They said they they were interested in meeting people.
Reyn wanted to help them out.
He asked expats living on the beach there if they’d like to come to a BBQ potluck.
Most people loved the idea.
Lauren and Janet even volunteered the beach front house they are renting.
Thru word of mouth and emails, what was talked about on Friday, quickly became reality on Monday.
A potluck BBQ was born.
All sorts of folks came, both visitors and resident expats. It was a fun event.
In fact, I keep hearing from people up and down the beach who say, they wished they could have made it.
I didn’t think to take any photos until we were leaving. It was getting dark then, so the photos aren’t the best.
Future Get Togethers?
I know quite a few people here who would come to regularly scheduled events. We only need someone to organize more of them.
Perhaps a Wednesday lunch or dinner at Milton’s Heavenly Hotel? It has A/C!
All it takes is for someone to post it to the forum and/or email the first few times, and then it would take off.
Who is up for it?
Excited to hear this. We are on our way down mid April to look for a rental in the area.
