I’m a Celebrity

For those of you that want to see Costa Rica up front and personal, check out the new reality series “I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Outta Here!”This season takes place in the jungles of Costa Rica.  Not really an example where you might buy property and build a house, but definitely and first hand view of the beauty that lies in the Costa Rican jungles.

This is the low down; A group of B-list celebrities is stranded in Costa Rica, with their fate in the hands of viewers in this retooling of the British reality show. The celebrities compete in survival-themed challenges to earn extra food, supplies and luxury items, and viewers vote them off the show one by one.

Although former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich had been asked to take part in the new season on NBC, a judge refused him permission to leave the country while awaiting trial on corruption charges. The last… Read more celebrity standing wins cash to be donated to his or her favorite charity.

Although I am not a fan of reality shows, ones like this always catch my eye.  I started watching “Eco Challenge”, one of the original reality shows (more reality than drama) about ten years ago and am watching I’m a Celebrity and Expedition Africa this year because alot cannot be faked in these forums.

New York Times

There was a fantastic article in the New York Times about Costa Rica.  You don’t need my input, I’ll let it speak for itself.

CSI Costa Rica

Did anyone watch Grissom’s last episode on CSI?  Where did he end up?  Yep, you guessed it…Costa Rica!  He and Sarah will be bird watching til the day they die.

It continues to excite and amaze me how Costa rica is showing up everywhere.  Ever since that fateful caption on Jurassic Park.  Sorry, although the country holds 6% of the world’s species O haven’t seen any dinosaurs.

Cadillac and Costa Rica

I keep saying that Costa Rica is always in the news.  Now Cadillac is giving away a free trip to this wondrous paradise.  Take a look here:  http://www.fxnetworks.com/shows/originals/damages/cadillac/#/Experience/FrontView/Overlay

Biofuel frontrunner

One of the things that I am so impressed with about Costa Rica, is its ability  to stay as a frontrunner in so many catagories.  This year they are moving forward on thier biofuel industry, looking at as many ways as possible to stay ahead and lead the charge, rather than become the follower.

Much much more on this to come.
