Day Off 2

We work 6 days a week and get 1 day off. For whatever reason, we’ve decided that Wednesday is our day off. Because SOME people really like to go on day trips, we usually head somewhere on Tuesday, stay overnight, hang out the next day, and then come back to the field house on Wed afternoon.

For our first day off, we went to a beach called Playa Hermosa (I think playa = beech). We hung out and swam in the ocean and it was fun. Maybe I’ll post pictures from that day later. For the second day off, we went to a remote field station on the Caribbean slopes of Costa Rica (we are currently on the other slope – would that be Pacific??). The forest was really different there... It was very very very humid, and closer to what you’d think of as a rainforest. The forest I’m working in now is really dry, especially because the rainy season hasn’t really started in full force yet.

I don’t have much more time to type, but I will post some photos:
