Well, The government has closed Isle Cano for a while over a toilet technicality.  Bad for tourists who want to enjoy the island, but probably good for the overall, long-term sustainability of the natural beauty.  Government ineptness (which isn't always bad,apparently) is slowing development and that will delay human ruin.  So we can't complain too much.  Now, Gay Marriage is another issue.  Thank President Obama in the U.S. for taking a moral stand.  Hope it doesn't hurt your re-election.  Now, lMaybe Gosta Rica will feel comfortable endorsing gay marriage.  It has come closer and closer each year..  Maybe with a new president in CR we will get it here.  Maybe the same year we legalize marijuana.  Enjoy this picture of a few friends gathering at one of our beach restaurants...  and if you want to follow me on Twitter it's @TimSalladay. and the website is www.gayrealesttatecostarica.com
