Keep Up With the News

Everyone in Canada likes to keep up with what is going on in the world and it is the same here in Costa Rica. The "La Nacion" is a daily spanish newspaper printed out of San Jose. Even with a limited ability to read the language it is amazing what I get out of browsing through it each day. They report on the news of Costa Rica, international stories and naturally soccer dominates the sports pages. Entertainment also makes the headlines. Last week a picture of "Iron Maiden's" plane at the airport was on the front page and a few days later there were pictures of the huge concert. They even reported the death of Jeff Healey.

Us gringos can also get the "Tico Times" an english print newspaper also out of San Jose. It is a weekly paper, like the local one at home, coming out on Fridays. Unlike a local paper however it does cover news from around the world. They however didn't report on the death of Jeff Healey.
