All I can say is wow!

These howler monkeys are known
for the sound of their ‘howling’
voices that can travel over a 5
mile distance.

Robert Rauschenberg is…surprise…an
artist who has done a lot of
pro-environment art, including
the first Earth Day poster in
1970. There’s a show in New York
City that opened yesterday, which
displays art he’s made that deals
with issues of global warming. If
you happen to be in the Big
Apple, check out more at Jacobson
Howard’s web site.

You can tell that there’s a
cultural shift happening, when
“six degrees” no longer
means “six degrees of separation”
but “six degrees of global
warming.” Here’s a new book
out with that title, by science
writer Mark Lynas, on the
consequences of rising
temperatures. Lynas is also a
2006 National Geographic Emerging
Explorer.

yes! we do have marine turtles in
Guiones beach, and this baby one
was born right in front of the
Harmony.

Did anyone else read the news on
Bali’s coral reefs? They’ve
suffered incredible damage from
“rising temperatures and
destructive fishing methods.” Now
scientists are trying to send
low-voltage electricity through
the corals, to “jolt” them back
alive. Let’s hope this won’t become
an experiment gone awry.

This horrible beauty was moving
from one hibiscus bush to another
and I almost walked into him when
my eyes re-focused in time to see
the brown-stick like colour of
the rest of his body shape into
the snake.

I was told by Pina, who works
here at the hotel restaurant that
this snake is called a Bejuquilla
and is not a lethal snake. He is
really thin and long. I would say
about 3 feet long.

Jugo de Cana

Sugar Cane juice. A favorite
drink amongst some of the staff
at the healing centre.

Interesting to taste, it is sweet
and thick.
A juice know to those raw
foodists out there enjoying how
it is full of cholorphyll.

Here in the picture you see the
machine the cane is run through,
pressing the juice out of the
stalk. The stalk is left behind

A favorite drink amongst the
staff at the healing centre, the
juice from a coconut.
Comes in its own container,
leaves you with a snack inside
after eating.
It filters water, re-hydrates
your body, replenishes
electrolytes to name a few.
Raw foodists sing praises of this
drink.
Rastafarians often use it instead
of water when making rice..YUMMY!
There are many different flavours
to this ‘pipa’ depending on what
stage of growth the coconut was
