Some Interesting Reads

I’ve run across a few interesting websites that speak of the tropical experience. I like to check in on them once in a while.

The Tico Times Blog Little by little Costa Rica’s main English-language newspaper is getting with the times. I like the short post with the New York Time’s Matt Gross.

Garland Baker I’ve been reading Mr. Baker’s articles on www.amcostaica.com for years now. Here, on his site, you can find a boatload of articles he’s written. Mr. Baker’s articles at times may seem vitriolic to some, but in my experience his account of lo bueno, lo malo y lo feo of living in Costa Rica is spot on.

Panama Guide I just ran across this site a couple of days ago when looking into the pair of gringo serial killers who were supposedly in Costa Rica. Don Winner is the journalist at work here, and if you read backwards from when the story broke, it is actually quite enthralling. Mr. Winner does editorialize frequently throughout his reporting, but I guess that’s just another byproduct of blogosphere. Caveat lector.
