This is Semana Santa (Holy Week) and many things (stores, restaurants) are shut down. It is nice to see the Costa Ricans “close” the country and take a break. Everybody heads for the beach since this is the last big holiday of the summer (sort of like Labour Day).
It hadn’t rained here in Atenas and in most of the country since before Christmas but this week the weather changed and we had afternoon rains giving some new “looks” to the vista we have of the Central Valley…..enjoy!
