It is raining and it is pouring, and the jungle awaits to be under analyzation in the morning. Team habitat will awake at 5:30 A.M. to prepare for an intense day of research as we hope to make up for the lost time at the airport. We plan on getting a plethora of data to analyze tomorrow and nothing is going to stop us. Not even this massive thunderstorm going on right now as I write this. What we have all been waiting for is finally here, the rain. The balcony of Cabin Toucan is a great spot to relax and watch a tropical thunderstorm. I am not sure that it is quite as intense as those from my home town, Tulsa, but it is close. Haha, that was a joke, this is the most intense rain (So loud I can't hear my thoughts to write this blog) and thunder (Ground shaking!) I have ever experienced. This rain will make the research tomorrow even better and more adventurous. As for today, the research team got to get really familiar with the area under study and went to explore the Arenal volcano. Dr. Brown wasn't lying about the food here, all local and fresh. The build your own tacos were delicious with all the toppings you can think of, including fresh guacamole, salsa, and homemade tortillas. The fresh homemade Chayote soup was the best soup I have ever had in my life and can only be found in Costa Rica. Everything here is really awesome. The cabin alone is worth the trip, with the rainforest in my backyard and a pristine view of the Arenal volcano the instant I wake up. who doesn't like waking up to fresh squeezed guava, mango, and other tropical fruit juices? Not to mention the Costa Rican coffee. I am gonna go now, my computer is getting rained on because this wind is picking up.
Adios amigos.
