Chile Edition
Dia del Verano Costeno leads today's complete edition for Chile.
Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
February is peak beach season and every Chilean with a car heads to Cartagena, Algarrobo, Maitencillo, or Zapallar. The Pacific is freezing and Chileans swim anyway because that is what summer is for. The sand gets everywhere, the sunblock gets everywhere, and the memories last until next February.
You observe Laysan albatrosses, Hawaiian monk seals, and frigatebirds on these remote Pacific and Caribbean islands. You note that pet ownership is virtually nonexistent on these largely uninhabited atolls. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
You discover Balashi beer, brewed in Aruba since 1944 and the island's own Caribbean lager that appears at every local gathering and beach. You see Balashi as the taste of Aruban island life, reflecting the small nation's pride in maintaining its own brewery despite limited resources.
