Google recognizes Independence Day with Costa Rican flag

The search engine giant is recognizing Costa Rica with a Google doodle honoring today’s holiday.

Today, in honor of Independence Day, you’ll find the Costa Rican flag billowing proudly on Google’s homepage.

The image only shows up for Google users currently in Costa Rica. The four other Central American countries celebrating Independence Day this Sunday — El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua and Honduras — also received their own doodles.

This isn’t the first time Google has done special doodles for Central America during the region’s Independence Day. Here’s a look at a few more Costa Rica Independence Day doodles.
