Introduction

Christopher Columbus had one ambition-to reach the
East and its fabled wealth by sailing West. There
were some who thought him crazy to believe the world
was round. They thought it impossible to sail "around"
a flat earth. But thinking people of Columbus' day,
and even earlier, knew that the world was round.

Curiousity combined with persistence finally brought
Columbus the answer to his dreams. The Queen of Spain,
Isabella, supplied him with money, and on August 3,
1492, Columbus set sail from Palos, Spain, with three
ships, The Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria.

On October 12, 1492, Columbus sighted by moonlight what
he thought was an island of the Indies near Japan or
China. The island, which Columbus called San Salvadore,
was actually a tiny part of an unknown world.

Columbus made several trips back and forth across the broad
reaches of the Atlantic in a continued effort to locate
lands that might be Asia or Japan. Despite his great
discoveries, Columbus died a disappointed man because he had
failed to bring back to Spain the treasures of the East.

Columbus Day in Costa Rica

For Costa Rica October 12 was Día de la Raza, Race Day,
a celebration of the human race as well as Columbus's
voyages. As sentiment throughout the Americas has
changed focus in recent years, so has Costa Rica's vision
of this important date. It now embodies a celebration of all
the peoples who constitute the base of this country's culture.
