The off season started Tuesday, I can feel the change. Less people, less stress, less noise, its a blessing. | -------------------Off Season / Quiet time

After Semana Pasqa (April 28th) came a Puente (long weekend) due to Cinco de Mayo. They cleared out Sunday/Monday and now its almost entirely residents of La Manzanilla along with about 15 expats. Its not as peaceful as 2 years ago, before the Tamarindo project started with the trucks and the workers. It will never go back to that, but its noticeably more quiet. The off season (or as I call it the get off season) has started. | -------------------Re: Off Season / Quiet time

16 day's after Easter. For me living right on main street that is when I really noticed a difference, it doesn't mean its the same for everyone, it depends on where you live. Also of note is morning rush hour between 7 and 8 am. Cha cha cha changes. | -------------------Re: Off Season / Quiet time

It's truly a blessing and we can always count on it coming. | -------------------Re: Off Season / Quiet time

Yes it is a blessing! And not to be disagreeable but I think there are a few more than 15 expats here this year! Love, Lucy | -------------------Re: Off Season / Quiet time

Still snowing here guess I have brain frostbite and can’t count | -------------------Re: Off Season / Quiet time

I agree that there are more than 15 full-time expats living in La Manz now. (Actually, after Hurricane Patricia in 2015, I gave more than 15 names to the US consular representatives, who came looking only for Americans.) Should we count ourselves, as a summer diversion? | -------------------Re: Off Season / Quiet time
Posted by Daniel H on May 9, 2019, 7:34 pm, in reply to "Re: Off Season / Quiet time"
I agree, that would be fun. Will there be some kind of definition on who is counted e.g. here full time or here most of the time or part of the time? Or should we just count who is here now and leave it at that? | -------------------Re: Off Season / Quiet time

We're here year round, although up here on the hill, in the woods, in vecinidad La Tigra, not much change. We do feel it fully though when we take una vuelta (on foot or in car) in town and definitely on the beach. Heaven. Our favorite time of the year...here, now and throughout nature's forthcoming drama. Judy and Felipe | -------------------Re: Off Season / Quiet time

(still here) Gene and Paula Patti and Dave Lisa Fern Laura (The Lab) Jon and Arlene (just saw Jon) Will and Leia Cruz (an American as well as a Mexican) Bonnie G If you count Los Ingenios: Laura and Dave, Sara, and Leon and Jolanda.

I count 107 so the answer to the question would be around 100. Maybe we can do it again next February to get an idea of how many expats are here at that time of year.
