El Dia de la Madre

Today is Mothers' Day in Costa Rica.

This is not the made up North American version intended to sell cards.  This coincides with the religious holiday of the Assumption of Mary.  It is a very big deal here - probably bigger than Christmas - everyone honours their Mother with gifts and dinner and time spent together - everything is closed - even the construction workers are absent from the site across the road.

Happy Mothers Day to all!
