...How in god's name is tomorrow MAY already??
Anyway. I'm going to apologize in advance for not having much time to write. Most of my days have been hours and hours of measuring trees and canopy cover in the 25 m x 25 m plots surrounding all the owl sites: and the randomly selected "non-owl" plots that accompany each. Lots of walking. Lots of opportunity to birdwatch while working. All of the enjoyment.
I did get a chance to go to the Monteverde farmer's market, held in the high school gymnasium just above Santa Elena center, with my host mom and the chiquitita. Here's a blatantly stolen internet picture.
Mangoes are still obscenely cheap, and there were even some decent apples. Guayabana and guyaba pods, calabasa for lunch picadillo, yucca for chicken soup.
I'm really starting to look forward to living in the station with the CIEE crew again. I do wish I had more time to chase owls around (I stumbled upon the MOTHERLOAD of bare-shanked screech owls between my house and Selvatura on a twilight run), but it'll be awesome to be able to study late nights with the twenty two of us at such close quarters again.
The last nineteen days.
Time to make it count.
Pura Vida.
