Mi Querido Bocas

---

I came to Bocas to invesitigate the possability of starting up a conservation education program for a local field school called ITEC. I'm spending more time on Isla Colon than I did in the past. There are so many unique things to Bocas that I never experienced previously. This week I went in a cave with 5 species of bats, including vampire bats, saw the remains of a loggerhead seaturtle nest, walked to Rio Mimbi Timbi, tried to speak GuariGuari, and ate Deba Mudu, or heart of palm, soup. Tommorrow the entire field school is going to Isla Popa 2 to see an artisan demonstration and walk on the nature trail. Hope it all goes well.
