Villa Vanilla & Crocodile Bridge in Costa Rica
Our First Day in Costa Rica and we used the Gray Line Shuttle Service to get to our hotel, Costa Verde in Manuel Antonio! Before arriving we stopped to check out the must see Crocodile Bridge. It was scene straight of Indiana Jones.
The next day (6.24.17) we began the day at the Villa Vanilla tour which was spectacular. We had a wonderful guide and sampling of items that are grown at Villa Vanilla. It was fantastic!

What Is So Fascinating About Quepos Costa Rica?
II
Highly recommended you get travel guide. Bars, hotels, art galleries, bakeries, gift shops and restaurants is
a charming blend of seaside at the town center of Quepos Costa Rica.
Mostly at dry season is a high season runs December to April but still lush and beautiful. Street carnival with
dancers from across the country and the Festival del Mar dominates the month of February and features concerts,
sporting events, parades. It is a great fun at Quepos Costa Rica by Christmas.
Just before the Manuel Antonio Park entrance don't miss Playa Espadilla which is most people watching with
colorful street vendors and restaurants. Wide variety of accommodations from boutique hotels to
luxury villas and panoramic views offered by the natural landscape are truly gorgeous. Quepos Costa
Rica with unique charm and unparalleled views at Hotel El Parador, Buena Vista Villas and
La Mansion are wonderful.
Featuring privacy and the utmost elegance Buena Vista Villas is
great for romantic honeymoon-like getaways. Kids and adult friendly pool with a swim-up bar, and a
family friendly restaurant is great for families, with lovely service. My favorite Quepos Costa Rica in
all of the area is the view from the Parador pool.
With the personal touch by the friendly staff that
really makes the experience above and beyond, La Mansion is a cozy boutique experience that
provides the service and cuisine that is all luxury. 10 miles East of Quepos Costa Rica and includes 27 acres of
agriculture production and 125 acres of primary and secondary rainforest farm Villa Vanilla is a tropical
laboratory for sustainable agriculture.
Orchid, cinnamon, black pepper, allspice, and a variety of exotic
fruits, essential oil and medicinal plants are biodynamic crops. Informing along the way about sustainable
practices such as: composting, animal husbandry, and permaculture plus the tour Quepos Costa Rica
takes you through the sights and smells of all these crops. After the tour you can pick up the spices in the spice shop
and Some spice treats and packs are included with the tour.

World First Man Made Forest | Analog Forestry Training at Belipola in Sri Lanka
In 1983, Dr. Ranil Senanayke, the originator of Analog Forestry, began testing its concepts on the ground at Belipola. With his team from NSRC, he transformed the once neglected tea estate into a thriving training and research center for the next 20 years. In it’s first 20 years, Belipola was a hive of activity, as a training and research venue, to a living forest garden production site. As Analog Forestry concepts and practice began to spread to many other countries around the world, human activity at Belipola slowed down and almost ceased. NSRC also left Belipola and began to work in other parts of Sri Lanka, refining the techniques of Analog Forestry. So, people left, but the forest kept growing and thriving, and today over 60 species of birds, an array of mammals such barking deer, monkeys, wild boar, porcupine, mongoose and amphibians have also made their home here. In an area where the surrounding mountains have been virtually stripped of their native forests, and in once pristine watersheds we now see barren land and unsustainable land use (monoculture single age eucalyptus and pinus plantations, chemical intensive agriculture and slash and burn). The constructed wetlands at Belipola have raised the water tables and also filter and purify the streams that flow through the land. Seeing Belipola with all its colours and diversity today is like seeing a work of art that is so magical and full of the beauty. It is testament to the amazing healing capacity that humans are truly capable of creating.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Veracruz (American Spanish: [beɾaˈkɾus] (listen)), formally Veracruz de Ignacio de la Llave (American Spanish: [beɾaˈkɾuz ðe iɣˈnasjo ðe la ˈʝaβe]), officially the Free and Sovereign State of Veracruz de Ignacio de la Llave (Spanish: Estado Libre y Soberano de Veracruz de Ignacio de la Llave), is one of the 31 states that, along with the Federal District, comprise the 32 federative entities of Mexico. It is divided in 212 municipalities and its capital city is Xalapa-Enríquez.
Veracruz is bordered by the states of Tamaulipas to the north, San Luis Potosí and Hidalgo to the west, Puebla to the southwest, Oaxaca and Chiapas to the south, and Tabasco to the southeast. On its east, Veracruz has a significant share of the coastline of the Gulf of Mexico.
The state is noted for its mixed ethnic and indigenous populations. Its cuisine reflects the many cultural influences that have come through the state because of the importance of the port of Veracruz.
