MOTHER'S DAY • DIA DE MADRE
in Costa Rica is one of THE BIGGEST "Holidays" in Costa Rica!!!
It's literally a national holiday where
everyone gets the day off (or gets Double Pay), which means banks,
government agencies, etc. will be closed
(and since it should have been a
payday, most people will have gotten paid the day before on the 14th so
lines will probably be long at the banks on the 14th)!!
NOTE: Since this is a legal holiday - the Driving Restrictions are NOT in enforcement on Friday.
