I start typing with an overwhelming feeling of defeat. Not because the trip at the end of August to which I am going to refer went badly, but because I think it is almost impossible to translate into text what I experienced. No adjective is sufficient to describe what it really means to experience “Burning […]
Last night’s debates could only add to the confusion. I followed them in a state of deliberate impartiality. To the undecided for sure the debates generated a legitimate mental cliff, which only more indecision could bring as a result. Without exception, the [...]
In the month of September a record number of visits to the blog was reached, with 62% of them coming from Costa Rica. Everything heats up when the Volcano, a Referendum, an end of the year is approaching.
Here is the message from President Arias, whom I respect and admire. I have already decided: I am going to vote Yes. Insanity would be to expect different results, doing the same thing. The FTA is imperfect, but it is better than [...]
