Who Will
be Last on Sunday?
Ok, we all know who will be the
next president, thus we thought
it pointless to have a contest
to name the winner. So, here's
the challenge: who will end up
in last place come Sunday night?
The winner will get a bottle of
Centenario rum to enjoy on
Monday, since Costa Rica will be
dry and unless you stocked up,
you cannot buy the spirit
anywhere.
