We arrived last night after numerous delays in transit, including a copilot that injured his foot walking down the stairs in Atlanta on the jetway, requiring a new copilot and necessitating a 3 hour delay in our flight. With the delays we didn't get in until around 6, and everyone was fairly tired. Most had stayed up all night in order to be awake for our 4AM departure from the tower (not my recommended pre-travel preparation).
The site has changed considerably since last year, including more plantings and a few new buildings, as well as a restaurant. It makes it seem like we're not roughing it as much as before, with a candlelight dinner last night (albeit due to a power outage that had everyone in the dark, really) and a breakfast in view of the volcano.
This afternoon the girls in the bird group are working on binocular practice and compiling a list of the species seen in our counts this morning, and the guys will be testing one of their first quadrat points in a teak planting area. More pictures of the work soon!
