Well.. remember I said that I wouldn't bet against anything else going wrong with the Hyundai - it did, but really was my fault. I got it hung up trying to pull into a lot in Hacienda Atenas. As a matter of fact, so bad that the running boards were hung up on the asphalt and the right front tire was off the ground. I tried to back it off, but didn't work even though I put it in 4 wheel drive. I kept on hearing the left rear tire squealing, but nothing happened. I ended up going forward while really trying hard not to drive it over the cliff and 300 ft down. Made it ok, but tore up the rear-end doing all this. Luis the mechanic is now in San Jose trying to find me a used rear-end so we will be back on the road in style.
All I can say is that this time - it was my fault...
On November 30 of 2016, we celebrated our 9th year living here in beautiful Atenas, Costa Rica. We love the wonderful people, the weather and the low cost of living, and especially, the relaxing atmosphere that we live in. With all this, it was pretty easy to make our decision to stay and live here. As it is becoming more obvious every year - it appears that we are here to stay, and I can guarantee you that we have not looked back at all! Enjoy!
