This site is evolving with, and I’ve added a new page & tab which will “post” student contributions, which may be taken from a separate blog they have created. We support the students in having a separate blog with more latitude, but they have come up with some great stuff and we want to be able to share some of it on this site. See below and entry by Jeff covering yesterday.
Second Night in Costa Rica! (posted 2-10-11, by Jeff Dinardo)
So it looks like another peaceful night after an amazing day at the Santa Rosa Dry Forest. Today we saw tons of animals, with deer everywhere and a band of white-face monkies coming right outside of the cafeteria. The food, maybe not so suprisingly, is delicious. Here, it seems rice and beans with some other option is the staple, as well as variations of ham. Tomorrow we go to a volcano to hike and observe the vegetation, which has been nothing short of incredible. Already, I have learned tons, mostly without trying, as there are so many types of plants and animals that I didn’t even know existed. So hopefully tomorrow will not be too hot for our hike, and it turns out to be a good one.
