Key to Costa Rica offering 10% discount on Fall tours

Filed under: , , , , , , ,

Key to Costa Rica is offering a 10% discount on tours going to Costa Rica now through November 30, 2011. The focus of these tours is eco-tourism, with itineraries being planned by green travel consultant Beatrice Blake who has not only lived in Costa Rica for 13 years, but has been advising travels since 1996. For those who may not be familiar with eco-tourism, it is a type of travel, usually to a protected or fragile area of land, that is low-impact on the Earth and is meant to educate travelers, provide money for ecological programs, and give insight into the culture.

Travelers have the option to create customized Costa Rican tours or choose from one of the Key to Costa Rica trips, such as Enchanting Costa Rica, which includes bird watching, hiking, visiting an organic coffee farm, and lodging in traditional-style thatched roof cabins. Trips include itineraries for active families, children, nature lovers, and bird enthusiasts. There are also tours specifically for those who want to experience Slow Travel as well as those wishing to volunteer in the region.

Researchers from the National University of Singapore’s Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Initiative (NUSNNI) have created what they claim is the world’s first energy-storage membrane. Not only is the material soft and foldable, but it doesn’t incorporate liquid electrolytes that can spill out if it’s damaged, it's more cost-effective than capacitors or traditional batteries, and it's reportedly capable of storing more energy. ..

Playing the Parks


Playground Across the Street

Having a child changes your life. Obviously you get less sleep and your "spare time" is now dominated by parenting, but there are more subtle effects as well. A park you used to ignore you now causes you to take mental inventory as you walk by: baby swings - check; low slide - check; clean grounds - check! The park across the street from our house has a small playground and we now find ourselves out there pretty much every day.

Front Foot Not Quite TouchingSand Is My FavoriteWalking On The Sand

Pigeons Taking OffI was also quite surprised to find out that animals see children differently than adults. At Granville Island you can accidently step on a pigon if you aren't careful. Children don't have this problem - the birds seem quite aware of kids and where they are. A child twitches and the birds scatter. An adult gets up and the birds rush in looking for dropped food scraps.

Hey Look Pigeons

Playing on the Swings (Pandora Park)

Picking a restaurant also changes. Of course you are interested in if they have a high chair (or my pet peve - restaurants with broken high chairs), but knowing if there is a park near by is also handy. We found a great Pasta place on Hastings, partly because Pandora Park was near by.

Get Ready For The SwingSwing Is AwesomeYeah This Is Fun

Water Park at Granville Island

Some parks are pretty much famous. The water park at Granville island is well known amoung children - listen to them talking at a different water park and they often compare parks. Nara doesn't have much experience with water parks so her first visit was a little cold and timid.

Petting Zoo at Queen's Park

Nara With ACalf A new one for me was visiting the Petting Zoo at Queen's Park. This "by donation" petting zoo is small but well maintained and the animals seem happy enough. Again, Nara was a bit confused about her role in all of this chaos, but she had a good time.

Open Question: I have an idea for a stew... tell me what you think?

I posted an answer to someones question about taking sandwiches and after that I had an idea that i'm going to try out this friday on my day off. Get some water and get it hot but not quite to a boil yet. Then put in some peppered beef jerky, green onions, red potatoes (chopped), then maybe something like a little rice or Ramen... Any suggestions? What would you do different? Or would you be the kind of person to look at that stew and think it was slop for pigs?

Lillet Buttermilk Shakes

A lot of things were banished to the basement in our recent move. The basement is expansive, and the general rule of thumb was this: if we weren't going to need it in the following three weeks, use a big, fat, Sharpie to indicate basement/sotano on the cardboard box. Straight to the basement. One perplexing item that ended up in the kitchen was a milkshake maker. After living in the garage for years, it seemed like the sort of thing that would go to the basement without much of a discussion. But apparently not. Wayne wanted to put it to use, so it has been hanging out, in my line of sight, for weeks. Correspondingly, the idea for this shake popped into my head. Tiny, thick vanilla buttermilk shakes spiked with Lillet.

Lillet Buttermilk Shakes

Buttermilk shakes are my favorite. But I like them small - more of a big shot than anything else. These turned out nicely in part because the Lillet brings a subtle booziness and fragrant citrus flavors to the creamy slush. I suspect a lot of you have herb gardens with basil plants that are sprouting pretty flowers right now - I picked a few from my planter, and sprinkled them on top of each shake.

Lillet Buttermilk Shakes

Let me know if you have other things you like to do with Lillet. I mention a few basic ideas down below in the head notes, but I'd love to know if any of you do anything super interesting with it. It's a favorite around here for sure. But typically just on the rocks or with a splash of sparkling water.
