A short post, with no intentions of satiation...

Things at La Selva have been intense and insane. I haven't really had any free time, and that means I haven't had time to update this blog. I come home a week from tomorrow, so, unfortunately, the next update might be from Arkansas. From now until then, I have a plant test, a big paper to re-write, a smaller paper to first-write, another paper to review, and a smaller assignment to complete. Oh, and two huge, incredibly important finals the day after tomorrow. AND I have to find a machete to buy; it's one of the few (materialistic) goals I've had that I haven't fulfilled. I've been hanging out at La Selva for the past...week...two weeks...something like that. Poison dart frogs, sloths, and leaf-cutter ants galore. It's been a good time, but now it's crunch time and I have to go back to studying.

The past few weeks, in short (and in pictures):


This was the view off of my porch for a week in the cloud forest of Monteverde.


This crab was one of thousands at Cabo Blanco.



This snake was climbing a tree at La Selva a few days ago, and let's just say I'm glad I had a telephoto lens with me.



More later. Later might be in seven or eight days, but it's coming. Soon.

    Stephen la! Ahhhh s-word! What a sweet photo of the crab! How is it that the crab looks scarier than the snake?? Great photos and text as always... what a view from the patio.

    You know, it's not too late to fly South instead of North... hehe

    Can't wait to see you on Skype and then in real life !

    Good luck on the finals!!
