Eyes on Costa Rica and Weather Records - November 2023

(Click on images to enlarge).

During November, visits to this blog were received from the following 11 countries:

Each country is followed in brackets by the total number of visits received since records first started to be kept in November 2012.

From the time I started to keep track, the total number of countries and non-independent jurisdictions from which visits have been received remains at 135. Of this number, 13 are non-independent jurisdictions - e.g. Puerto Rico, an unincorporated territory of the United States from which 12 visits have been received.

The following is a summary of weather for November in the area where we live:

Towards the end of the month the upcoming dry season was signaled on two days by some very strong trade winds. They were persistent - beginning in the small hours of each morning and continuing well into substantially cloudless days. Rainfall during the month was significantly less than the same month last year.

Eyes on Costa Rica - a Continuation

This follows my blog entry of last October. The number of identifiable countries or quasi countries from where people have visited this blog has risen to 95 from the mid 80’s. The newest include Guatemala, Chile, Ecuador, Uruguay, Iceland, Guernsey, Lithuania, Slovenia, Egypt, Morocco and South Africa.

In addition, there have been one or more visits from unidentified locations including “Anonymous Proxy”, “Satellite Provider”, “Asia/Pacific Region” and “Unknown Country”

What we find remarkable is that there are people in so many countries with so many different languages who are drawn towards an English language blog about someone’s experience in Costa Rica. It is a bit embarrassing because our proficiency with the Spanish language remains as a work in progress. If the tables were turned, we would have real difficulty reading a Spanish language blog about experiences in Costa Rica. We could stumble through, but it would take time.

What is even more remarkable is that earlier today (April 1) my husband announced that there was another “unidentifed location”. He said that it had the handle “ISS/UN”. He looked at me dead serious and said that this must be the International Space Station - the letters UN meaning the United Nations. He questioned whether those people orbiting the earth had nothing better to do than surf the Internet. But, it seemed to make sense and I was thrilled. He then reminded me that it was April 1 (April Fools!).

Well, I won't forget that.
