Can You Drive To Rikers Island

Tucanes in Villa Caletas


(Ramphastos swainsonii
)
Following a kind invitation of manager and owner of the Hotel Villa Caletas in Jaco , Puntarenas, I have attended on two occasions to make an astronomical observation tour for guests, and the second time around (3/12/2011), extended to fans of the surrounding communities.
amateur astronomers attended Tres Rios, Heredia and San Francisco Two Rivers. Astronomical observation was regular, with a mysterious moon out and hiding in the clouds, Can
May r great, but the Orion Nebula would not be seen. In the end, as usual, almost edge Saturn saved our night.



But better was the dinner conversation on:
dwarf planets,
eclipses,

the thirteenth zodiacal constellation,
  • astronomical phenomena
  • 2012 and Mayan perspective. A Conversation with ppt presentation, I offer to community groups and educational institutions.
  • Hotel gave me the room No. 1, with an excellent view to the north, Polaris
  • and Dipper.
The pleasant surprise the next morning was the visit of about 5
toucans, that proud, but with some misgivings, posed for my camera. do not know the kind, I just had a nice photo opportunity, and as I always say in these cases,
-better ask your friend ornithologist neighbor.
