"Six Snakes One Place"

So today... the habitat group was working out by the monkey cage... while Dr. Brown and I were distinguishing some of the plant species the habitat group found (Ok I'll be honest Dr. Brown did most of the identifying, and by most I mean all). Then something astonishing happened... something so amazing and mesmerizing that I fear I am not a good enough orator to convey. Thus I shall call upon the wise words of Professor Omar Kamal Faour - to help me sore above the Arenal Volcano (that was a Milton reference by the way) .We found "six snakes [in] one place"... vipers to be more precise. So we had to "bounce" as Omar put it, to prevent from getting... well envenomed.

Now for a moment of seriousness, I will admit that seeing those vipers was immensely petrifying; however I think that the snakes were more beautiful than they were terrifying!!! To elucidate my point... I shall use Einstein's "Theory of Relativity". To put it simply... time is relative not just in physics but also in physiology.  Furthermore space and time are not separate... rather they coexist and that is how we get the space time continuum. The "STC" can best be explained by an analogy... imagine a vacant trampoline. If you were to place a booling ball in the center of the trampoline... there would be an indentation in the center, and if you place smaller objects on the trampoline; tennis balls, ping pong balls etc, then they would move towards the booling ball. In this analogy the sun is represented by the booling ball, the "STC" by the trampoline and the plants by the smaller objects. What I wish to convey is that sun forms an indentation in the space time continuum and that is why things circulate around it. Well in my situation the vipers represented the sun... in that their combination of magnificence and terror seemed to rivet the attention of the whole environment. Every single organism had their undivided attention on the vipers, and we were all revolving around the vipers' trepidation and allure (another Milton Reference) as we watched them flow along like an omnipotent foreboding river. It is not until the sakes were out of sight that time seemed to progress. Hey Kelsey what do you think about the physics?

Following our encounter with the vipers we moved on the section of the property... where Dr. Brown said we would "be most likely to see a viper" (those might not be her exact words ... but that was what she meant, right Dr. B?). Well back to the narrative... we went by the bamboo trees - so that the habitat group could gather more data.  Everyone one was on edge of course... especially Professor Omar to quote him "man look at all these bamboo, snakes be chillin in there whalla (Arabic for OMG) bro one hundred percent snakes is chillin in there".  Shortly after... Joe and Forrest thought they spotted a "massive snake" atop a bamboo tree... in response to this Dr. Omar proceeded to enlighten us with his vast knowledge; "man if there is a big one up there, then there is a million down here". The immensely sagacious words of Professor Faour only intensified our anxiety; fortunately we did not encounter any vipers after that.
