Costa Rica the land of Pura Vida.(Corrected)

Internationally Costa Rica is well known as a very good place for living. We have very nice weather, beautiful mountains and beaches. We just have two seasons the rainy season and the dry season.

The majority of our people love soccer we enjoy seeing a match on TV, in my case I have to watch soccer alone because my wife does not like it.

We also have very good food here and our wonderful typical food is known as Gallo Pinto that is rice mixed with beans, onion and some sauces.

But nothing is perfect, last year the rainy season was so hard and the floods destroyed a lot of little towns in different parts of my country. That is so sad because many people lost their houses, loved ones and they are still living in hostels. One more impact of the rainy season was in farming the harvest was not good enough and they lost money and even their properties because they could not pay the loan.

Everything is returning to normal and we hope this New Year will be better and affected people will get back everything they lost last year.

We live happilly in this little country and we like to say “Pura Vida” that means “very good”, “Excellent”. This is a kind of greeting.

Only God knows what is coming for Costa Rica but we always want the best, better opportunities, no more disasters, less violence, more jobs, etc.

God bless my country and all the people that come here.
