Calling
Costa
Rica
Home
and
Then
Some
There
are
two
primary
reasons
why
people
set
their
roots
in
Costa
Rica´s
fertile
soil.
The
first
and
foremost
is
they
have
become
exhausted
with
the
way
of
life
in
the
developed
world.
Places
such
as
Paris,
Berlin,
Madrid,
New
York,
Los
Angeles
and
Chicago
have
just
simply
worn
them
out.
They
have
resulted
in
an
epidemic
of
“Alma
Fatigada”
(A
fatigued
spirit).

Cañas
Opened
on
Sunday
After
All
Friday
afternoon

Ministerio
de
Obras
Públicas
y
Transportes
(MOPT)
announced
the closure
of
the autopista
General
Cañas
between
the
airport
and
Cariari,
this
due
to a
demarcation
of
the
recent
(almost
four
months

repaving
of
the
country's
most
important
and
used
road.

Of
The

Is
An
Attempt

To
Regain
Her
Popularity
The
large
public
workers
union,
the
Asociación

Públicos
y
Privados
(ANEP),
charges
that
the
request
made
by
Presidenta
Chinchilla
of
Francisco
Jimenez
to
resing
his
post
at
the
MOPT,
is
an
attempt
to
improve
her
popularity
in
the
polls.
