up the streets
of San José and
surrounding
areas to allow
for movement of
international
delegations in
Costa Rica to
attend the
swearing in

The time off
will also serve
as an
opportunity to

work around the
Sabana park that
will under the
watchful eyes of

The time off
applies only to

but for sure
