iguanas and internet

Hello from the Santa Rosa dry forest! The Costa Rican part of the lab is on “workation”, i.e. a bit of work today, a walk to the beach tomorrow. It feels weird to be away from Pitilla station. So many iguanas here. And people. And I can sit in front of a house with fridges, icecream and fans (the cafeteria) and have a perfect wireless internet connection while somebody else is cooking lunch for me.  Almost too civilized….wait, dew just dripped from the Guanacaste tree above into my laptop. And I am watching birds while working. And the mosquitoes are biting. So not actually civilized. Thank god.
