So far Costa Rica has been amazing. The hot and humid climate is a huge shock at first, but surprisingly it isn´t bothering me as much as I thought it would...although I don´t think I have been completely dry since we arrived in Carara National Park.
Today my group, the GIS team, began our first field research. This consisted of testing our equiptment and mapping the northern section of the Quebrada Bonita, which is a small creek that runs through Carara. Because of the dense canopy cover of the jungle we had to walk in the middle of the creek to recieve satelite signals to track where we were and the path the creek follows. Right as we began this adventure the largest amount of water I have experienced fell from the sky and continued throughout our hour or so long trek. By the time we arrived back at the station it looked like we had just swam up the creek with no paddles. Even with the wettness this has been my favorite part of the journey thus far. We saw some scarlett macaws on our way home and the rain was a bit of relief from the heat. Tomorrow should be another adventure to a river where supposedly crocodiles make their home....
HEY FAMILY!!! I LOVE YOU!!!
