The thick, Hawaiian-style wave builds in deep water and breaks over a shallow reef right in front of the funky Caribbean beach town. For advanced surfers only, Surfline notes: “Salsa Brava loosely translated means ‘angry sauce’, and if tha

Traveling to Morocco can present some challenges when it comes to planning the best place to set up camp, as its varied geography makes it a destination with several possibilities.

To start, visitors must immerse themselves in this city full

Hairs on the soles of their feet give them traction and reduce heat loss on ice and snow.Pandas can climb trees. Usually, however, only cubs or females in heat climb trees.The panda‘s coat has two layers: a coarse outer layer and a dense, wooly under layer. Their fur is slightly oily which prevents water penetration in the cool, damp climate where the pandas live.Coloration Pandas are mostly with white with b

Bears, raccoons, and dogs all descended from the same common ancestor that lived over 24 million years ago.The panda has some characteristics common to bears, but other characteristics are not like bears.

No one really knows how Nicuesa Beach in Costa Rica got its unusual name.
One thing is for certain, the picturesque little cove in the Pacific gulf of Golfo Dulce in southern Costa Rica takes its name auspiciously from the Spanish conquistador and explorer, Diego de Nicuesa (1464 – 1511). His name further lives on in Playa Nicuesa Rainforest Lodge, a beautiful ecotourism and nature lodge located on Nicuesa beach.
But who was Diego de Nicuesa, and how did a little Costa Rican beach receive his name

Fewer foodstuffs in the world today seem to have more fans than xocolātl, the cacao-based infusion the Spanish conquistadors found quaffed by the elites of Aztec, Mayan, and other Mesoamerica societies they conquered. Back then, it was not necessarily always sweetened but also confected in varieties included fermented and chili-pepper-spiced.
But of course once chocolate made its way back to the aristocrats of Spain, then and onward to the rest of Europe and the world, it was transformed into
