Hummingbirds in "Cerro de la Muerte", Costa Rica

I was on my way to Golfito by bus (Tracopa) and the bus stopped in a Restaurant called La Georgina (Cerro de la Muerte). I was expecting nothing but cold, I never imagined my surprise when I went in the back part of the building. I was never able to count them, but my guess was more than 100 Hummingbirds flying around their food and about 2 feets from me......I just have one word.......AWESOME!!!! 

Remember, if you are doing the same route, it is my recommendation to all of you to have your camera ready to shoot videos and photos.

Poorest Communities To Be Priority Of The New Government (Golfito)

This is an eye opening article listing Golfito as one of the our President's priorities. I knew we were RICH in "Naturaleza" - but didn't realize the depth of concern over our areas status on the poverty scale. 

 

The Article:

During a session of the Consejo de Gobierno (Cabinet) presided by acting president, Alfio Piva, 10 of the poorest cantones were identified and selected as a priority of the Chinchilla government.

The selection was made based on reports by the Índice de Desarrollo Social (IDS) del Ministerio de Planificación or Social Development Index in English.

Making the list of the poorest areas in Costa Rica are: Coto Brus, Los Chiles, GOLFITO, Upala, Buenos Aires, Limón, Corredores, Matina, Siquirres, Pococí and Sarapiquí.

These communities will be part of the governments program "Comunidades solidarias, seguras y saludables", getting help in the areas of security, education, health, housing and labour among other problems.

 

Would any of you have thought we would earned a place on this list??? I will be interested in your comments.
