Niños de Hannah

A friend of mine who lived near me in Cañitas had really cute siblings. I showed them my iPod Touch and they seemed to like it.



Following photos are taken by Hannah Findlay. Ignore my name in the corner. I am too lazy to take it off.

Around Cañitas

So it was my last day at my homestay Sunday (5/2). It went by SO fast! Below are some pictures from my homestay and the surrounding town of Cañitas.

Moved back into the Biological Station in Monteverde. It's weird being back. It's different. Things are coming to an end.

Soon I will be on my own, exploring the endless abyss...

Project

Here are some photos from the farm that I have been doing my research at for the past 4 weeks.



I am studying the effects of farm location (edge vs. center) on the amount of mycorrihizal fungi in the roots of Café trees. Most days I have to walk to the field station to analyse my roots under a microscope. This means I have been walking over 2 hours everyday. Its been really intense.

I move back into the Station tomorrow! Crazy. This past month at my homestay has gone by SO fast.

Fiesta Del Toro!

The Fiesta del Toro came to Cerro Plano on 4/18. It was a small weekend-long block party that was a lot of fun, almost like a state fair in the States. There was lots of food, lots of beer, lots of bulls, and lots of dancing. I even jumped in the ring with the bull one night. It was pretty frightening, but I escaped unscathed (no photos of that incidence, though). Below are some other photos of the nights.
