Day Five

Hi everyone! Sorry for the delay of blog posts, some of us have been feeling under the weather so we've been getting lots of rest😙. On day five we had another amazing hike through the rainforest where we got to swim at the bottom of a waterfall! Afterwards, Pablo surprised us with popsicles from the local megasuper that we ate on the ride back to Finca la Anita. We spent the rest of the day conducting preliminary experiments and carrying out our devious science plans back at the lab. Sending lots of love from Costa Rica!🩷🩷🩷

Day Four

Hey guys, today in the morning we saw the mariposas from the ladies in the village. They were supposed to have some blue butterflies by they had all died because it was too hot.  Then we got to look around the town. There's a little convenience store that we got some snacks from. Then we went to the lab and started on our scientific propositions. After that, we went to get lunch and then went back to the lab for more scientific propositions.  We were at the lab for all of the afternoon making sure that our propositions were good. We got dinner and then went back to lab to present our proposals and it rained really hard and was very loud.  There were SO MANY bugs at the lab, we saw a queen bullet ant. Now, we are back typing our blog................ Thanks for reading, we miss you and the internet. Bye!      Dorothy & Luke T

After around 2 hours in the van we stopped at the "MegaSuper" grocery store to get some snacks. After a bit longer on the road, we came across a flooded road that we couldn't cross. We decided to wait out the flooding, and went to grab something to eat! Where everyone got a yummy slice of pizza! The flooding died down and we were able to make it to our destination.  After arriving we got suited up to head to the beach down the road, where we learned about the different tracks turtles make, asymmetrical, and symmetrical.  A leatherback turtle from nose to tail is as tall as Alex! Then, we got to enjoy the beach, play in the water and explore the sand. The waves were big but the water was very refreshing. We headed back to the hotel to eat dinner. Dinner was soda, beans, rice, chicken, and sal...
