So I suggested Banff and the rest is history.  I admire and love strong adventurous women. She is skiing Banff!

Facing the threat of being held in contempt of Congress, Bill and Hillary Clinton agreed Tuesday to testify before the House Oversight Committee about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Democrats now say Republicans have established a precedent when it comes to Congress’ ability to subpoena and haul in past presidents, first ladies and family members under threat of criminal charges if they refuse — a precedent they warn the GOP and Oversight Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., will soon regret.

Crime Is Bad Here In Costa Rica. The New President Is Conservative And Wants To Fight This Drug Crime. I Wish Her Well.
 Laura Fernandez will be Costa Rica's next president, pushing forward with a populist mandate set by her predecessor that includes promises of constitutional reforms and the suspension of ​civil liberties to fight crime at a time of surging drug violence.

In March 1963, the Irazú Volcano in Costa Rica began a major two-year eruption cycle that coincided exactly with the state visit of U.S. President John F. Kennedy. There are many schools here named after him.

About John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Jackie Kennedy wrote privately in 1964, "Whatever reservations I might have had about having permitted it to be named after President Kennedy...all I care about now is sparing him controversy.  He has a right to peace now."
