Presidential Love??
Tired of the hounding by the press and critics and now an judicial investigation into his role in the Crucitas open mining project, Costa Rican president, Oscar Arias, has decided to seek solace in the arms of his former girlfriend, Johana Mendolia.

The prez and Johana broke up about 15 months ago, but were seen together Tuesday night at the Teatro Nacional concert of the Moscow Sretensky Monastery Choir.

Friends close to the prez say that they have been again a couple for the past month.

Arias that he prefers not to comment on his personal life.

The couple broke up after a brief engagement in 2007. Although the reasons for the break up were never made public, it is believed that public life was too much of a strain on the couple, both agreeing to mutually go separate ways.

At 67, Arias, is 20 years older than Johana, has two children from his first marriage that ended in 1996 after 23 years of marriage.

Johana is a public relations professional, working for the Grupo Nación and Repretel, is divorced and mother of four children.

The only comment made by the prez on the relationship is "vamos a ver … vamos a ver" (we'll see).
