Costa Rica Finally Declares Winner in Presidential Race

After what I thought was going to take a week, the winner of the presidential election in Costa Rica was finally declared last Wednesday, March 8. It turns out that the man who had the small lead on Feb. 5th, Oscar Arias, won the election after all. This is actually a return to office for Mr. Arias, he served as president of Costa Rica from 1986 to 1990.
