In May of 2007 we received a special request from a first grade student located in
Central Illinois.  Chloe sent us a flatter version of herself
(based on the book Flat Stanley
by Jeff Brown)
and asked us to take her with us on one of our adventures.  We were
more than happy to cooperate and what follows here are pages from her journal.

We would be thrilled to receive more "flat" visitors and their life-size, 3-dimensional
counterparts for either virtual or real visits to learn about  the marvelous diversity of
Costa Rica's ecosystems and the wonderful plants and animals they contain.


Pura vida!

Monument in Costa Rica.
