Guest Shots
The Windstar Cruiseship, outside of the port of Caldera.
Everyone knows Lola the Pig, from Avellanas. She's always out on the beach, checking out the hot surfers.
SPECIAL REPORTS ~ A few good causes to support…
Sadly, heavy rain last week lead to widespread flooding and landslides in the south of Costa Rica and Northern Panama - many people have lost everything. Thousands of people have had to leave their homes and there is an estimated $77 million worth of damage to crops, infrastructure and community buildings such as schools and clinics.
Indigenous people have been the worst hit as they rely heavily on small crops to gain a small income and feed themselves and their families - many people are now without crops to feed their families. Please consider helping those affected by the floods by donating money or bringing over some supplies (either yourself or through anyone who you know is coming to Costa Rica over the coming weeks) - this is something very real and something happening right at this very moment. You have a choice and we urge you to help in whatever way you are able to, no matter how small. ~ Tropical Adventures
** CR Surf Travel Co. will match the first $50 for a donation made to help them. After sending them the funds, email us and we'll forward our gift as well.

Project Green Jungle. (Facebook) Hey everyone, We need your help in order to to see our goals become a reality. Tom, one of our directors, is there now with fellow members of our organization starting the beginning phases of our work with the Bri-Bri of Kacharbri. In order for us to start building our facility, which will supply jobs to the indigenous of the area, we need donations from our supporters. Being that we are a non-profit we cannot do this without you. We now have 317 members on Facebook. If we could all donate just $10 that would help our progress tremendously! All of the money donated will go directly to the progress of the facility. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to message me. Thank you all - Heather Trott, Volunteer Coordinator, Project Green Jungle
