Costa Rica Journal
August 3, 2010 by scienceguy288
Well folks, if you were wondering where I have been for the past month, let me clear that up. I have been in Costa Rica for an internship/tropical ecology class/field work. So, although I haven’t posted in quite a while, I think I can make it up to all of you by posting my experiences from my journal here. I will add my pictures to that in order to show you the fantastic place I stayed and the wonderful ecosystem with which I fell in love. Starting tomorrow, right here, I will post a day from the trip each day. If you have been following this blog for long enough, then perhaps you remember my virtual trips through Africa and South America. Well, this will be much like that, except it really happened. I only hope I can convey, to one degree or another, just how spectacular this place is. I hope you enjoy it.
Also, just let me know what you think of the new setup and tell me if you prefer this one or the old one.
Take Our Poll
The new one is up now and here is a picture of the old one.
