2008年にコスタリカでバナナラベル愛好家のミーティングを開催しようとの案内が回っています! mixi代表としてどなたか参加できませんか? 国際会議とはいわず、より大きな集まりといっているところに外交センスを感じますね。参加できない人たちへの優しさだと思います。興味のあるかたはお問い合わせください。

Hello Amigo Coleccionistas:
It appears we might have a mini-convention in Costa Rica in late November or early December 2008. There are many collectors in that beautiful Central American nation, which ranks second after Ecuador as a banana exporting nation. We have good connections with a number of banana companies there, could arrange plantation tours, visits to the label printing plants, and just plain tourism in this tourist friendly nation.
My Costa Rica contacts actually suggested the idea after hearing about the Munich fun late last year.
Right now it's just an idea, but a good one. If you have never been to Central America, it commands your attention. And if you have been to Costa Rica before, then I know you will, like me, want to go back!! So start thinking about an outing, or even better, a family vacation, for late 2008. Air fares to Costa Rica from the U.S. and Canada are reasonable, and good service and even charters can be had from Europe.
If you can think of others to add to this mailing, please forward it. My e-mail list is not complete.
Be happy to hear your thoughts and have your input. We could meet in San Jose, or even better, hang out somewhere in the Atlantic lowlands, and maybe even have trading sessions right on a banana plantation. There are dozens of Costa Rican collectors, so this could actually be one of our bigger meets.
