Do not even Try to visit us during this festive season. One Million person is a crowd.  (Just local residents).  If you do not speak the language you get isolated and very lost. Having fun might change into a personal nightmare.

Carnival includes 15 floats, Vintage Cars, 14 bands, and thousands of lights and is one of the most important events of the festive season in Costa Rica.
Please take Note. Expect traffic delays and crowds of over one million people gathering in downtown San Jose. Don’t even try to drive into the fiesta like a spectator tourist. Walk just like everybody else, you will meet the people, participate and be Carnivaling.

Eating and Drinking.

Tamales just might be the best food ever created. If you have ever had a good one, you know just what I am talking about. In modern times, with the addition of now more available things like raisins, mushrooms, prunes and even stuffed olives or two. Tamales have become a favorite food in Central America, ideal for the festive outings.   It can be observed that it is really as much about making them, as it is about eating them. A group effort, Tamale making is a social event. A time to renew old friendships and make new ones. During this time young women would return home to make tamales with their mother.

This tamale making tradition has expanded beyond the Hispanic community, and the warmth and love with which they share them with neighbors and travelers passing by.  In making tamales, you are not just making and sharing great food, you are creating memories, but there is something special about tamale memories. I think it is the combination of the Festive mood time, the smells, and the wonderful taste that combine to create a poignant memory that will last a lifetime. And the small boy takes the olive out for grandpa, because he personally doesn’t like them. Nothing goes to waste, only the leaf wrappings.

Now adays, things have changed, Commercialized, you can even buy them plastic wrapped in the supermarket. I can assure you they don’t taste like Granma’s. For the matriarch making tamales, takes them back to a simpler and more peaceful time. Tradition Tico.

This is the image suposedly painted On the dome of our National Museum  many years ago.

I think it show the spirt of the Ticos to Celebrate to Life once a year

Tamales can be traced back as early as 5000 BC

Those were the times before money existed.

 You can not buy food you must learn to feed yourselfs.

 On their long exploring missions.

 They served as a nutritious and portable food,

 for Aztec, Mayan, and Incan warriors, on “misions”.

Recooked everyday they last for a week or longer in the wrapper.It is all about wrapping them right, 5 layers of banna leave.They add  oil to seal the leaves and salt to Control bacterial growth.Just the right amount of salt penetrate the wrapping, to give the saltless inner mix, just the right taste.As days go by they get even better and last a month.

All LIFE is Equal Sacred and not one should  go astray. Love each other as Brothers should.
All LIFE is Equal Sacred and not one should go to waste

And let us remind you that, about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying,

'Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?' in other words,

'My God, My God, why are you abandoning me’

This was the moment he realized the God Within was abandoning him.

Meaning Life - This was His last words.

So the World can Share and Know - these Sacred words is knowledge of Life.

Today His memory is still with us and many await his return to LIFE.

He is the Symbol of LIFE meaning, a Living God.

We are all Alive now.

A Teacher of LIFE say farewell to money.

because Teachers of the Knowledge  are carried on the hands of the living wherever they go.

Everybody dedicated to Life have no bigger reward than

The Knowledge of it all is like a digital credit card without limits.

Knowledge open all doors, overcome all obstacles -

The Power of know how.

After all you only have,

What you can carry away with you,  by "Native law."

Now listen careful to the Magic Words - no forgiving if abused by parasites and free loaders.

"Please, in the name of LIFE".

Is a petition that can not be refused.

a Petition without reward - you only have 3 - like 3 wishes.

Please Give to Life and the Living - Grow and Make food for the world

With a full belly - Imagine, a kitten comfy asleep.

Food brings contentment, harmony and peace - it is an Art to know how to live in peace - with your neighbors - to share with all. It is evil to be a hoarder - of space and things you are not even going to enjoy.

Hoarder of gold.

Join us everywhere and light us a candle All these evenings until years end 2010. In a celebration to Life Annual Festival of Inner Light Wishing you all a very Happy Christmas. And a very Prosperous New Year I wish you all inner light

To see your Life and future very clear
