Thanks to Andreas for organizing the walk. It was great fun! Here are some pictures:

This was the biggest demonstration in the history of our country, with an estimated 150 000-200 000 people there.

This "agreement" if you can call it like that, attacks many of the things that make Costa Rica a nice place to live, and if approved, would limit greatly our chances of economic and social success in the future.

Since you can only vote if you are in Costa Rica next Sunday, and that means I can't, I ask everyone in Costa Rica to please inform themselves and try to make a smart decision. Don't let the fear campaign being run by the government affect you.

This sites contain a lot of information:

I put some of my reasons to say no to the TLC here.

And since this is a photoblog, here are some pictures of Rodrigo Mora, Steve Quiros, and me, saying NO to the TLC. We are in front of Nordbad, about 100m from my apartment. They were visiting Munich to go to the Oktoberfest. More on that later.

]]> Sun, 30 Sep 2007 23:55 GMT Rodrigo and Steve visit, and we go to Oktoberfest! oktoberfest2007 http://www.maldonado.cr/~amaldo/blog/oktoberfest2007.html Rigo and Steve came this weekend to Munich, and we spent some time in the Oktoberfest, or like people here say "auf der Wiesn". We sat in the Augustiner tent, and this is how it looked like around 11am:

Afterwards, we went to Koenigsplatz and took a walk. Look at that Sky!

The rest of the pictures are in this gallery. Trees are starting to loose their leaves, and I made some pictures of trees around the block.
