Bob and Julie came to Costa Rica to enjoy a lifestyle that is friendly, rural and perhaps not the fast lane—but not a backwater, either. Together, they launched this construction company which combines his field expertise with her attention to detail. They have owned a home in Hatillo for nearly 20 years and are putting down roots in the region.
