In case you haven't noticed I have tried to refrain from constantly bombarding Southern Costa Rica News with happenings from Santiago Springs and Monte Verde in an effort to not be biased about our development projects here, but this time I can honestly say that the best news and the most excitement in the whole San Isidro area is happening in right here in the middle of our beautiful community! Let me hasten to give God all the honor and the glory before I go any further!
