Watts Pennsylvania, USA		3/2008 Hi James, Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed Costa Rica.  Thank you for your hospitality.  We'll always remember the beautiful old churches, especially the one where we went to half a Mass!  :)  The trip with Tony [Casa Holanda chauffeur] to the Caribbean worked out very well.  We thought he was great.  We were very happy he was driving and not us, because there are so many bike riders and pedestrians on the road.  . . . . Bill Carroll, who owns Pachamama, had heard of you and said he had heard you were the cultural bright spot in San Jose.  .... Once again, thank you for sharing your Costa Rica pura vida! Sincerely, J. Lamoureaux Oregon, USA

	08/2008 Hello James,   I want to thank you again for all of your assistance and advice towards making our trip such a success.  Your home is lovely and congenial, with a generous musical bonus.  Whenever I listen to that Mozart sonata at home, as I have done this morning, I will remember you. J. Franks Midland, TX USA 11/2008 Hi James, Isaac and Andrea here.  Back home freezing our *@@^s off now.  Just wanted to shoot you a quick note to thank you once again for your hospitality.  It felt like home at your place and we enjoyed the short stay.  The dinner was just what we needed and the company was outstanding.  Thanks again James.  Stay in touch! Isaac and Andrea J. Canada		11/2007 James,   I`d like to thank you again for making my stay at Casa Holanda so enjoyable, as well as productive.  My room, The Sunrise, was comfortable and cozy - and the price was certainly right.... The meals were delicious and varied, and you prepared them with a gourmet chef´s touch.  If I suggested that I might like to try a certain dish, that meal soon appeared on the menu.   As someone who is applying for pensionado status in Costa Rica, your knowledge of Costa Rican beauracracy, and the many services you provided were a huge help to me.  Also, your professional contacts (lawyer, insurance, mechanic, and so on) made it possible for me to accomplish obtaining a drivers license, buy a car, and obtain insurance in a short span of time.  I can´t imagine trying to get all those things done on my own!   You are a most gracious host, and the musical aspect of Casa Holanda only added to the grace of the experience of staying at your B&B.  I highly recommend Casa Holanda as a place to stop and spend some time when in Costa Rica.   Will see you again, I´m sure!   Best Regards, S. DeSiato, Colorado USA
