Our San Isidro / Perez Zeledon feria is open as usual this Independence Day, Thursday, September 15th. Hope to see you there. Banks & schools & some businesses will be closed, and buses run on holiday schedules. For more on this Central American holiday, click here.

Our community lost one of our finest last week ... the multi-talented & multi-lingual, much loved, Ellen Wisse, originally from Holland.

She was a beloved teacher & animal lover and helped so many, many friends, four legged and otherwise. We miss you deeply, Ellen.
