On Monday, Costa Rica will celebrate its independence from Spain. In 1948, Costa Rica wrote their constitution and is one of 25 nations around the world that lives peacefully without an armed forces.The celebration at school was fabulous. Students dressed in typical costumes and sang and danced folk songs. These lovely young women dressed in costumes typical of the seven regions of Costa Rica.
Steve posed in front of these beautiful students.
Benji and the student council kids marched in with the Costa Rican flag, and sang the national anthem.One teacher, a professional singer, graced us with a rendition of a traditional folk song, and Steve and I got to participate in the show by interjecting "bombas" : funny phrases in Spanish that punctuated the dancing. The students really enjoyed watching their teachers say crazy things in Spanish.
