Costa Rica Events – The cooler weather up north reminds us that it is now December. Last night was the first Christmas themed evening in San Jose. Hundreds enjoyed spirited music outside the National Theater.
The carols went on for over 45 minutes. The group consisted of 54 kids. This show has been going on since 1974 thus this was its 40th anniversary. It was enjoyed by people from around the world.
Tourists came by, people stopped on their way home from work, and some people even borrowed the grandkids for a night of fun. The evening ended with some tamales and coffee.
