¡Si!

Today is the presidential election in Costa Rica. Things are crazy here. People are out and about everywhere, waving flags, handing out flyers, etc. They have a law where they stop selling alcohol in the country on Thursday night and then don't resume again until Monday morning after the election is over. Kind of ironic considering it's the same weekend as the Super Bowl.

The Costa Ricans even have a carpool system set-up to get people to the polls, especially people that live outside San Jose and other towns. People attach huge colored flags to their car of the candidate they support and then drive around picking up anyone else who wants to vote for their candidate and take them to the polls. Rumor has it that Oscar Arias will win. As foreigners, we obviously can't vote. But folks tell us that Arias is the way to go—he's very "pro-American" and is trying to pass further legislation to encourage immigration and investment by Americans into Costa Rica.
