I am
Ok, just in case you’re all worried that I have fallen off the face of the earth, I have not. Extensive interesting updates will be coming someday. In the mean time, while internet is expensive and limited to a 2 hour hike away… I will just say that I’m staying on a Finca and tourist […]
Wildlife Sanctuary
To be totally honest,so far Costa Rica is a bit of a disappointment. The place I am at right now is on the Nicoya Peninsula, which is very touristy, so maybe that’s part of the problem. However, the place on the internet looks really cool and like they are doing great stuff and all, but […]
Estoy aqui ya!
Well, I’m IN Costa Rica. Right now. Wow. So getting here I was staying in Kalamazoo with my friend’s cousin…. and then I went at 3 for the train to Chicago. Well there was an ice storm so instead of taking the train at 3 I got on it at like 6… and then we […]

Mini Course – finally LEARNING about the butterflies we kill

Salida #4 (para mi la ultima)
29-8-06 This morning early Javier, Tatiana, Sergio, Jose, a choffer, and I left to finish up several transects. The one that we did today was in the Llanos, near Villa de Cura. Basically a lot like the other llanos transects except not QUITE as muddy. Lots of scrubby vegetation and a few houses. We only […]
BREAKING NEWS!!!!!! BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!!
Sooooooo…. this isn’t for sure yet, but it is looking more and more likely that I will in fact be RETURNING to the US on Sept. 25th, instead of staying here indefinately as I had hoped. This is largely due to all of my friends ganging up on me last night to tell me that […]
Viaje numero 2
I am back in IVIC after the second voyage, so I will update my webblog now!!! Unfortunately I haven’t really been keeping up my journal very well, so I’m just going to try to remember about how things were. When we first left for this trip we traveled through Ciudad Bolivar, which is one of […]
