  • En Alas Del Recuerdo. Quepos... 25 Años De Historia
    PREÁMBULO Quiero manifestar con todo respeto que, “EL FACTOR DE ORDEN, NO ALTERA EL PRODUCTO”… En todo momento, mi pasión por Quepos es... un sentimiento, nacer en Quepos, no solo es un orgullo, es un honor… ser un capullo, de una tierra bendita de Dios, por algo en específico, la bautizaron como... EL PORTAL DEL PACIFICO. Nací en los años 50, en el centro de Quepos, y viví en una casa de pared por medio del cine San Jorge, frente al parque, donde imponente estaba la Iglesia Católica, luego trasladada a Rancho Grande, vecinos y en privilegio del gran salón Miramar, la barbería de Juancito Zeledón el barbero, y el kiosko de los ricos batidos y las deliciosas tostadas. Los que nacimos en esa época y en casas atendidos por parteras, tuvimos la bendición del Señor, ser sacados al mundo de las manos de la mejor, una obstetra divina, sencilla, humilde, de nobles sentimientos, con una carisma único, la que Dios talló como una perla preciosa, bella por fuera y bella por dentro, Doña Margarita Black Shedden, la esposa de don Víctor Mora, todos nacidos con amor y sin demora. Quepos... territorio del Cacique Quepo, asentado sobre un viviente manglar, rodeado de un inmenso mar, protegido por un otero, que rompe el viento como gran velero, desde su monte impone su mirada sobre el horizonte tornasol, donde se peina la luna y se lava la cara el sol. Para los que vivimos esa época de plata, cada amanecer y cada atardecer, vimos al tren correr, su galopante paso sobre la línea férrea su guía, era pan nuestro de cada día, anunciaba con su partida y su llegada, el progreso de la vida.
