Nothing new

Literally. There's pretty much nothing new happening in Costa Rica. It's raining a lot, which is normal for this month. May is the month of the scarabs, because hundreds of scarabs come out of the ground and fly at night and they like crashing against people. We Costaricans are used to them but some people still run around trying to escape from them. They don't do anything at all besides crashing against everything and laying on their backs, while spinning and trying to get up. Nevertheless, some of them can get pretty big and scary. In 8 days, Costa Rica's new female president will take power, a historic event in Costa Rica, because she will be the first female president.
 On other news, the iconic Irazu lagoon has dried due to a crack on the volcano's crater. Some people say it's a sign of doomsday while others say it's simply a matter of waiting for rainfall to fill the blue/green lagoon again. However, that lagoon will surely be missed.....that is until 6 months, when it's back again, scientists hope. The last time it dried was in 1991. Oh, and the Turrialba volcano that was supposed to erupt and destroy Costa Rica along with half of the world didn't. I guess scientists missed their calculations by a few thousands of years....
