After a few weeks of holidaying it was time for work again, oh the hardship! I spent 5 weeks living and working in Cano Palma biological station in Tortugero National Park on the carribbean coast in Costa Rica. Tortugero is the second largest rookery of green turtles in the world and I was planning to be there for hatching season. As well as the turtle work they do a lot of work with birds and jaguars, so the work turned out to be very varied. After a week of training (I can now identify 30 bird species prevalent in Costa Rica, [View Full Entry]

Hey there, Sorry i haven't written in a while. I just wasn't feeling it the pat couple of days. But since we will be leaving soon i decided to catch you up. On Wednesday we woke up and it was very nice outside. The previous day it had rained so we were happy to know that our adventures would be happening on a pretty day. At around 6:15 am the boys (Myles and George) left to go on their fishing trip. Cindy and i decided to just relax at the cabina for the next couple of hours until our tour was [View Full Entry]

Hey all, I am doing one blog entry for both yesterday and today. We haven't done a whole lot and there aren't a lot of pictures so it would be easier to condense it. Yesterday we woke up around 7:30am to the sound of rain pounding on the roof. Cindy and George were getting ready to leave. Their taxi was supposed to get here at 8am. As they were finishing up last minute things, Myles and i got up to see them off. Before we knew it the taxi had arrived and we were waving them out the door. I cant [View Full Entry]

Sorry this is late but we were all feeling too tired last night to mess with the blog. Yesterday was a lot of fun! We started off the day by getting picked and driven into town (not having to walk into town is always nice) and getting dropped off at the Terra Adventures place. They had our ATV's ready and waiting for us. Our guide was a very nice guy name Raul. He showed us how to use the ATV's and had us drive up and down the streeta couple of times. He had to go help Crista because she got [View Full Entry]

Hey there, So we had a lot of plans today that kinda got shot down because of the rain. We woke up around 5:30am to Myles blaring alarm clock on his phone. We weren't sure that we would get up that early without help so we set it last night. Fishing is early business. The boys (Myles and George) had a fishing trip set today and they had to meet their captain on the other side of town at 7am so we got up early to prepare for their departure. Cindy and i had a kind of girly day. We planned [View Full Entry]

Hey Everyone, Today was awesome. As i mentioned in the last blog Myles had been really wanting to go snorkeling, and since our last attempt did not work (it was the day Myles was deathly ill.) yesterday we signed up for a tour to Cahuita National Park and some snorkeling at the point there. Cahuita is one of only two living coral reefs in all of Costa Rica, and it is supposed to be beautiful. We woke up around 7:30. Our bus was supposed to pick us up at 8:00am. We had a little toast (and tried the new peanut butter. [View Full Entry]

Hello there readers, Today was fun. We have been here now a little over two weeks and since Cindy and George have arrived it has been nice to show someone everything we have seen and learned. We all woke up quite early to make it to the farmers market before all the food was picked over. We got into town at about 8:15am or so. We warned Cindy and George that the farmers market was really small but i still think they were surprised to actually see how small it is. Its like maybe 10 stalls, and that's it. We picked [View Full Entry]

Hey Everyone! So i think today was my second favorite day here so far. We woke up around 7:45 because Myles set his alarm so we could get to our plans. We got up and headed to Banana Azul to rent some bikes again. We got on the road around 8:45. We were heading to the Jaguar Sanctuary just south of town. The sun was shining, which was nice because the past couple of days have been kind of over cast and rainy. When we got up we did not want to put on any sunblock or bug spray because we [View Full Entry]

Hello friends, Today was not that eventful. But, it is the calm before the storm. Cindy and George are arriving tomorrow night and i am sure we will be very busy showing them around to all our favorite places. I woke up around 8:45 and hung out on the porch waiting for Myles to wake up. I wanted to let him sleep because i know he has been going to bed very late. He got up around 10:30 and we decided to eat some frosted flakes. After breakfast we cleaned the house. We wanted to make it look nice before the [View Full Entry]

Hey guys, Sorry there hasn't been a blog for the past couple of days. When i was trying to upload some pictures to my last blog the internet stopped working and it would kind of flicker on and off for the past couple of days. Today is the first day that it has worked normally (keep your fingers crossed.). Even though i have not had a chance to write, you haven't missed much. Myles wanted to relax and recoup the past couple of days so that is what we have been doing. He finally feels back to normal this morning, thank [View Full Entry]
