Sunrise Over the Carribbean
Beautiful, isn't it? It was well worth the 5am wake up.
Cahuita was awesome!!! We just got back today, back to the station, and it was a lot of fun. I got over 100 pictures too (i'll post some of the best here).
I noticed that my beard is pretty long and my tan is pretty dark now. Coming back, I realized that the great summer adventure is coming to a close. I wish we could have stayed in Cahuita longer (save my many blisters... never go on a trail hike in adidas sandals). Even here longer would be nice.
The best part of Cahuita was that the meals were less than 3 dollars in most cases but were full seafood dinners. I was in heaven haha.
Thinking back, there were many times I dreaded this stay, for its isolation and overall length. And now, I look ahead and think of how long it will really be before I can come back or go on a simliar adventure. Crazy how things turn out, isn't it???
I'm thinking when I next return (next summer I figure) I will do an iguana diet study of some kind. That could be very helpful in determining habitat shift, especially if it


Beach Shot #1
Also amazing, it's great when the forest goes right to the beach edge. This beach was nice too, not too crowded and clean. The trail here went right along the edge too.
ends up that the shift is based on a diet change haha (oh how lucky I'd have to be). The primate class is here, and it isn't that bad. My friends come soon, so that's great. This is probably the last entry since, with all the commotion, I won't have much time to sit and write. The class is excited to have a herpetologist around, so I get to show them and tell them about all my catches of the days. They even want to come along on my night hikes...
PS - Students helping me ...hmm.
