Day 15 – Happy 4th of July!!!

Happy 4th of July to everyone!!

There is no sign of the 4th here, except for the number on the calendar. I figured I would share a little of Costa Rica’s independence information in lieu of their lack of interest in our celebration.

Independence Day of Costa Rica is celebrated on 15th September which commemorates independence of the entire Central America from Spanish rule in 1821. The news of the declaration of independence of Costa Rica had reached the people of the nation only a month later. Following the independence, the first constitution of the country was soon adopted. This further led to the celebration of the first elections held in December, 1821. The Independence Day of Costa Rica is declared an official national holiday in the country.


Now, onto the festivities. Maybe the Schiffers can set the town of Montezuma into a little celebration mood.

All I can tell you is that we are going to try!!
