Heart of the Jungle

Hola! Greetings from the jungle!

Joey, Alexa and Lauren here to report on all the happenings of day 2 in Costa Rica. Our morning started out with a LOVELY fitting for snake guards. (it took us all an hour to put those suckers on. Now we are all pros) We then trooped out to the truck to be dropped off into the forest (DUN DUN  DUUUUUNNNNNN) 

When we all arrived Daniel explained what the experiment was. In basic terms we collected decomposing leaves to compare decomposition under different trees. Daniel first showed us the short term experiment and then the long term one. We proceeded to help with the long term one by collecting current data and resetting the experiment.

 After lunch we all went on a hike to the different  sections of the National park. We became one with the forest during an hour long silent observation. (silent except for the gnats and mosquitos) We compared the differences between the original forest and the regrown forest. Then came together after dinner to discuss all the different observations we had. (WE'VE SPOTTED MONKEYS!! MOST OF US...)
P.S. Happy Birthday to Miles
P.P.S. BLACKHAWKS FOR THE WIN... yes, WIFI WAS FOUND!!
P.P.P.S Rice and beans? Too soon

Pura Vida! From T-Chick, J-Lo & Alexa (who has yet to be given a nick name from the great and all  powerful Ms. Inselberger)
