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 10

Image
  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...

Day Seven

Image
Today started early as usual with a 7:30 breakfast of beans and rice along with eggs and fruits, but today unlike other days consisted completely of science! We started with Dr. Pinto at 8:30am and went till 9pm with the occasional break here and there, including an amazing break of coffee/hot chocolate with a side of savory empanadas. Sadly today we lost two very wonderful scientists, Sage and Kim to spontaneous combustion likely due to stress. We finished our experiments and lab notebooks and will present them tomorrow!  We had a lovely lunch and a wonderful dinner of gallitos which are Costa Rican tacos, and proposed a toast to the wonderful owners of Finca la Anita and to new friendships!
