Living in Costa Rica has always been a blessing, in my early years I was ignorant of the magnitude of the political situation with our neighbor country, I’ve talked with brothers and sisters from Nicaragua and they have share unimaginable stories of survival, even though quite dark, they always shared them with a tad of humor. May God bless their country and give us all the wisdom to prolong peace.
