Harvest and Eat Seaweed with Ngobe Indians

Have you ever eaten seaweed? Have you ever harvested it? You can do this and so much more at Urraca Private Island. Van and I spent three wonderful days in this paradise with the owner Francine Roy. Check out our 4-minute video below.

A big thank you to Nuque Palacio, Elisia Mumani, Cecilio Mumani and Ignacio Bruce, four local Ngobe India's who took excellent care of us. I really wish we could have spent a few more days with you!

Emmmm... seaweed. Eat it, drink it or spread it on your skin.

Cecilio paddles me out to the seaweed farm in a traditional Ngobe canoe. BYOMS (bring your own mask and snorkle).

Vân and I are honored to have earned our 19th Editor's Pick award and a Video Pick of the Week award from TripFilms.com with our new short doc Edible Jungle. This was the first piece entirely edited by Vân and I think you would agree that she did an excellent job. We are sending this short out to festivals right now.

In case you couldn't tell from this video, we absolutely loved our time at La Loma. I can't think of many of my friends or family who wouldn't love it as well.
