I came to your site by mistake while looking up some Costa Rican newspapers on the Internet. What a great find.
You see, my wife, a Tica who speaks only a little English, and me, who speaks less Spanish, have been better able to speak about Costa Rica from what I have read in your paper. Your photos do a lot of talking to us and have stimulated some great conversations.
As our 5th aniversary draws near and retirement is only a little way down the road, I look forward to the day of calling Costa Rica my second home and look to you to keep me abreast of what's going on there.
Finally, happy birthday and continued success and a long life.
Your Reading Pals,
Maria and Bob Karter

I have been perusing your publication for several months now and I rely on it to give me an insight to Costa Rica. Having traveled to Costa Rica many times and with the intention to retire to this great country, I want to keep abreast of the happenings. AM Costa Rica provides an informative view that I balance with other sources to maintain my relationship with Costa Rica. ¡Pura Vida!

We start each weekday with a cup of coffee and A. M. Costa Rica. It is definitely superior in providing news and information in the English language. Thank you.

Reading A.M. Costa Rica has become part of my daily routine - every morning at 6:00 AM. You produce an excellent publication. My best wishes for the future.

Any time anyone contacts me about moving here, I tell them to start by subscribing to your online newspaper to really get a feel for the country!
For the first time since I have lived here, over 8 years now, I can get daily updates of what is happening here and around the world. Thanks so much for bringing life in the rainforest a little closer to the rest of the world! Happy Birthday!

Feliz Cumpleaños! Although I read A.M. Costa Rica de vez en cuando, I am grateful to know that a more honest point of view is available. A friend put me in touch with you. And when I am out of the country I can still keep in touch. Keep up the good work! It is appreciated. Muchisimas gracias. Hasta pronto.

Im writing to congratulate you for your fine site. I read it every day and it keeps me up to date on the country I plan to retire to in 5 or 6 more years. You all are much more even handed than the Tico Times, which I subscribe to in print. Keep up the good work!!!
Best wishes for many more birthdays,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
I have been reading your newspaper since I found it in September last year.
I was researching moving to Costa Rica so I read all of the articles and Real Estate ads. I really appreciate Jo Stuart's contributions. I found the house I bought in San Ignacio de Acosta and I have rented out the apartment in my house by using your Real Estate ads. I continue to read you every day and frequently forward articles to friends in the U.S.
I wish you continued SUCCESS. Thank you for being here!!

So far so good --- BUT .....
Regarding the photo of the beer-can holding statue, what brand?
It's the small things that count :)

Thanks for breaking my morning routine. Instead of watching the tube
first thing in the morning with coffee and a cig. Now, I'm in front of
the computer checking out the morning news on A.M.
Costa Rica. Thanks guys. All you are missing is an entertainment section
with what's happening this weekend. Might even bring in some revenue
for you some day. Also could have readers send in suggestions for
good (natural) places to hike within San Jose meseta.

We really look forward to receiving your daily publication - you are doing a great job - keep it up.

Just a note to say happy birthday and to thank you for keeping me updated on the news of my future home. I also want to thank you for publishing the classified ad that led to the purchase of my house in Costa Rica and to the friendship with two very special people-Isabela and Tony.
Keep up the good work. You are very much appreciated by those of us who are not able to move to Costa Rica on a permanent basis yet!

Happy Birthday from Calgary Canada! I rely on A.M. Costa Rica daily for unbiased news on my favorite home away from home. Thanks for a super year and keep up the great reporting!
D Phillips
Once a novelty and a convenience, AM Costa Rica is now a necessity. I went to the States for a month to help my daughter and her family with the birth of a new baby (lots of diapers and lots of fun). Every morning I was able to stay in touch with home by reading AM Costa Rica. What a bonus!
You're all doing a great job - now I can't remember what we did without you. Many thanks and Happy Birthday to A.M. Costa Rica's entire staff.
Norma LaTouf, Escazu
You have done an excellent job of keeping me informed of Costa Rican
events, news, comings, and, goings.
Best Wishes!!!!!
While I am a new reader of amcostarica.com I have already received a lot of very useful information. I wish you the best of birthdays as you take a moment to reflect on your first year. Keep up the good work.

Bravo! Although we sold our little house in Acosta (thanks to the ad in A.M. Costa Rica), I look forward to staying in touch daily with what's happening in Costa Rica. Your paper is informative and lively. We hope you have many, many more birthdays. !Ojala!

Happy Birthday A.M. Costa Rica from Toronto, Canada.
I love your daily news digests, and they make me yearn to be back in
Costa Rica. And Jo Stuart is my favourite. She has a nice writing style
and presents a true flavour of live in C.R. Thanks for your efforts.

1989 thru 2001 we were winter visitors to C.R. Medical problems keep us in U.S. now. We miss CR dearly. With your site we still feel connected.
AMCOSTARICA.COM is the best thing that has happened on our Internet. Your news coverage is excellent and pictures beautiful. Happy Birthday and keep up the excellent work. Good Luck!!!!

Imagine that you celebrate your birthday in Zagreb, Croatia, Europe. For that great celebration, people dress in their folk costumes. Zagrebs folk costumes are known for specially embroidered red dresses, red umbrellas and small mens hats. And someone makes a birthday cake decorated with the Croatian coat of arms!
Many happy returns for your 1st birthday ? and thanks for the nice pictures which show everyday life in Costa Rica (for instance: August 8, 2002).

Someone loves you in Texas!
You are probably thinking that all this year you have been publishing stuff to all American residents in Costa Rica. Well... guys... here is a surprise! You have a lovely soul that is and has been reading you paper for a while. I left my country, Costa Rica, when I was really young, and you guys have kept me in touch on the best news I ever read about my country. The stories are written with a lot of feeling and I love the pictures. All of your news are telling me that my country has changed a lot, and things are moving in to a new direction. I live in Pflugerville, Tx a little town north of Austin, central Texas. Keep up with the good work! Hang in there guys, you are doing great! Happy birthday!!!!

A very accurate, well researched and informative publication, with no apparent reporting bias (like the other!). I read and depend on it for news! Well done!

Your daily updates keep us in touch, here in the USA, with your beautiful country. The articles renew the many wonderful places & people we met as we traveled around Costa Rica researching for our new book.

Congratulations on your first year. I am in the US for a visit and AM Costa Rica is an excellent (and only timely) link to my home in Costa Rica. Keep it coming.

Yes, indeed! Happy Birthday A.M. Costa Rica! Thanks for honest reporting, for never being intimidated, for giving us your readers ALL the news. Costa Rica IS wonderful; however, we do not need a constant diet of embellished PR releases, for there is also a festering demi-monde, of which you also report. Evenhandedness is your forte. You have respect for your readers; you do not "dumb down" as do other media. May you continue to prosper & be a strong true force for uplifting marvelous Costa Rica!

Only a year and when I miss a day's reading, I feel left out.
I'm a long time annual visitor with plans to open a business on the
coast in a few months. I love the paper and enjoy the news from your
perspective. Both bad news and good news are important stories for
those of us without a complete perspective of life in a place we love.
Jim Guyton
You are wonderful!
We began reading and enjoying AM Costa Rica while living on Maui, Hawaii, USA, but since May 1 we live in Los Arcos, Cariari, San Antonio de Belen. We think your photography is exceptional along with several other of your articles. Thank you for being. Happy Birthday and many more. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for making me feel closer to the place I love and hope to one day live permanently. You bring together a community which is small in size but large in their love and respect for this wonderful country.
