Dear Howler Team,
I was very pleased to see a feature story about the amazing surfer and mom Lisbeth Vindas in the recent issue of The Howler. With 12 national surf titles, and now the Ironman under her belt, she is an athletic inspiration, but more importantly, a spiritual and loving person with tremendous drive. I really appreciate these kind of stories as they touch me personally.

Dear Howler Team,
I totally agree with the writer who likes Sylvia Monge’s Spanish articles. I thanked her via e-mail last month. I work on my Spanish every day by reading, listening, and writing. And I have a Tica tutor teaching me the local lingo. Sylvia’s articles offer the academics I need to become more proficient. I am a visual learner and appreciate reading her articles.

Thank you Sylvia! I believe if you live here you should speak the language out of respect. And it’s fun!

[So is the Word Search puzzle.] I have not done one of these puzzles in many years. But because it was a Spanish exercise, I was all over it. Completed in less than 10 minutes. Didn’t know three of the words but now I do. Fun exercise.

Dear Howler Team,

I just wanted to pass along some words of appreciation for a job well done [in the May 2017 issue] with the challenging task of objectively sharing the wide variety of educational opportunities available on the coast of Guanacaste. We at La Paz Community School sincerely appreciate your efforts and applaud you for your commitment to shining a positive light on all that our community has to offer!

In peace,

Abel M.

I noticed that two very important phone numbers are missing on your Community Services page:

Cartagena Red Cross ambulance 2675 0897
Huacas Fire Station (Conchal) 2201 9079

This came to my attention yesterday when we had an emergency. A man working on a rooftop sustained an electrical shock by accidentally touching a high tension line.

I also would like to suggest an article about the gold rush in Abangares, Guanacaste, from the end of the 19th century to the early 20th century.

Dear Howler Team,

I really appreciate the very well-written and concise article about net metering [July 2017 issue]. I am sure that this article will go a long way in clarifying net metering in Costa Rica and dispelling the misinformation that abounds.

Obviously, I also really appreciate your prominent use of my name and references to Pura Vida Energy Systems as well.

Dear Howler Team,

I would like to thank Dr. Cavallini and Dr. Leti for their great work. They always put the dog’s well being first over money or inconvenience. I have personally witnessed their kind and generous ways with strays and even dogs that have so called-owners. I can’t say enough good things about them both. Many dogs would have been put to sleep if it weren’t for their care.

I just want everyone to know about their big hearts for any animal that comes into their care. Drs. Cavallini and Leti are amazing veterinary doctors and we are very lucky to have them here.
