Dix and Liz after the clean up.

SÁMARA – We decided to beautify the field next to the police department and gathered up all the trash and debris and cleaned up the area. We planted 20 palmeras given to us by Tyrone Jackson and Laura Ellington of Intercultura as well as some plants. Coldwell Banker donated some supplies and one of their workers, Afro, helped us clean up the area. We painted the walls white, put up some signs, painted rocks, put up the Malinche pods that were painted on by Samara children and posted our green and white poles reminding people to clean up the area.

We would also like to see artists paint murals on the concrete wall, so we would like to get that word out. We would also like to have children put sea shells and rocks in the small garden area. We would like to eventually start a compost pile so that children would learn how this is done and how we can reuse organic matter in our community. It took us two days to do that and we were very pleased to see the results. Please stop by to see our garden.


Entrance before and with Bubba after.

Spanish is the Language of Costa Rica

OPINION – I’d like to introduce myself, I am a Catalonian boy. Catalonia is a Spanish territory, which for over 30 years suffered the repression of the Spanish dictatorship, depriving us of our own language, as much in the social environment as in daily life. It is a town that, following a war and dictatorship, knew to rise up and conserve its culture, customs and language, in spite of everything. More >

The Nicoya public library has entered the modern world and now has ten computers connected to the Internet.

Letter to the Editor – A War Caused by the Water

I could have never imagined that it would occur in my peaceful country, but today we are experiencing a war caused by the water thanks to the current management of the ASADA at Nosara’s American Project. This association is run by foreigners who do not respect Costa Rican Laws and, on the contrary, they show great skepticism and disdain towards the government and the country in which they so comfortably reside.

The Beach & Beyond – Rise And Shine 2010

When the New Year arrives it’s traditional to revisit the highs and lows of the previous year. 2009 gave people in Nosara and the world at large more to contemplate than celebrate. A lot of people lost their heads and then lost their shirts which pulled the rug out from underneath the rest of us. Given the number and intensity of economic disasters combined one could say we’ve been living dangerously, even say we’ve suffered an acute case of collective denial. More >
