Day 4,

We woke up and ate marvelously tasting breakfast. Made so well that the pancakes made us flip just like the pancakes in the fryer. The eggs scrambled our brains, they were so well made, we got them gains. Of course, this was all at 7:30. 

At 8:30 we went to the classroom to do fungus research with a fun guy (Dr. Pinto, a biologist from the university of Costa Rica) with fungus until 11:30. During this time, we also looked at an Acromyrmex echinatior.

We ate lunch at 12:00, burger, cooked just like a crabby patty. YaaaaAAAAaaAaAAAAAaaAaaaAAAr, me boy! Sage was eaten like a google Slider by the angry angus beef patties. The delightful experience was paired with the refreshing feeling of mango juice. It was so refreshing, we froze like ice until 2:00. 

Then we went back to class and discussed experiment questions. We thought about experimenting on the the animals of Costa Rica in various ways, like Doofenshmirtz when he looks at Perry the Platypus. Then  we had a "coffee " break at 3:30. The coffee I had was actually chocolate. The intense chocolatiness of the cacao nibs made my throat coughy. 

At four we returned again to finish writing our proposals. The ideas finished so smoothly just like waves in a calm ocean. At 7 we did our proposal seminar which went wonderfully, just like rainbows when it rains droplets that hit the ground like beautiful jewels. We finished at 9:30. Late!

Sage's skeleton found gecko.

Thus, it was a long day, we were tired, sleeping in our cabins just like the opposite of vampires.

Day one

Image
Day 1: After a long flight with a fantastic view from the plane window, we had a long van ride to the ranch. Multiple hours of driving later, we got to the ranch and settled into our cabins. Our host Pablo told us about the ranch and its rules. Not long after, we were issued our rubber boots, to protect from the snakes and occasional ticks. Good fish was prepared for our dinner, with a side of salad and tropical juice. Unfortunately, Sage was eaten by a shark. So we all slept soundly. Written by Axel and Sage.

Day Five

Image
 At 7:00 this morning, we all awoke and met for breakfast, a delicious combination of rice and beans, juice, and an omelet with bell peppers. The juice for each meal continues to surprise us, and is ever changing.  After breakfast, we all met on the deck and listened to Pablo explain today's schedule. Instead of morning science we would be traveling to the base of a mountain via tractor and hike up it to a natural waterfall where we could swim. Soon, we were all dressed in appropriate gear and loaded into the tractor wagon, packed like sardines but excited.  Once we reached the mountain, we unloaded and met Carlos, who would be guiding us on our hike. Then we were off!! The trek was slippery due to recent rain, and harrowing at times, forcing our group to split between the speedy zebras and the slower zebras. The hike resulted in several casualties; in fact, Sage tragically lost his footing in a particularly muddy slope and fell to his untimely death thousands of fee...

Day 10

  Today, we awoke bedraggledly from 5 hours of shivering sleep, and crawled to breakfast. After breakfast, we went to the Verdiazul hatchery and learned how to dig for turtle eggs. Neat! Niamh and Silas found actual turtle eggs, in addition to the fake ones! And all in the time it took some of us to find... 0 turtle eggs. Then at 2:00, we left to pick up tiny pieces of plastic off of the beach. Some of us thought that we were going to the beach for fun so we wore bathing suits. Ryan found eight beer bottles. Carl filled a coconut with 150 hermit crabs (The Crabconut). Doing our part to protect the animals? Luckily, we collected a lot of plastic (mostly chupa sticks) and gave it to the nice buckets. Then Verdiazul kidnapped the buckets and locked them away forever. We finished the day of hard work (only because we stayed up until 2:00 am the previous night) by going to the beach and looking at things. Rock things, fish things, star things. Tree things, trash things, a horde of child...
