Learn all about Costa Rica’s Caribbean Coast Zone. It’s only 88 miles from San Jose but a world away as compared to the rest of the country. Featured song is “Nowhere Like Limon” by Herberth Clinton Henry AKA “Lenky” preformed live for the Calypso Limon recordings by master pianist Manuel Obregón and calypso expert Manuel Monestel. They preformed and recorded with five Limon Calypso legends including Lenky. The CD is hard to find and the original recordings, even harder! I hope you enjoy this gem of Limonense Calypso from Lenky.

In the Costa Rica New Roundup, I talk about the historic referendum on CAFTA. I also discuss the new species of life form found in Isla Del Coco by Costa Rica scientists. Plus I share my experiences when I visited Caribou Coffee for a skim milk latte (cafe con leche) and I was given the chance to win a free trip to Costa Rica via Caribou Coffee’s sweepstakes. I excitedly scratched off for my instant win but alas it wasn’t meant to be so I’ll have to buy more coffee or pay for my own trip, that’s no fun! Check to see if there is a Caribou Coffee near you!
My loser ticket…
Costa Rica Spanish Lesson #8 - In keeping with the Limon theme: El que va para Limón, pierde el sillón. Listen to the podcast for a definition and pronunciation.
