Going to the field

Tomorrow I am headed to my rural site for a month. I will come back to San Pedro for a few days after that and then it will be another 4 weeks in the field to finish with data collection. It is my intention to update this blog regularly from an internet cafe in town but we will have to see how that goes.

Not much to report from this week really. Tomorrow I am waking up early to catch the 7:30 bus to Puerto Viejo de Sarapiqui and my host Dad is going to pick me up there. I managed to get everything that I anticipate myself using over the next two months (including all equipment I will need for my project) in my school backpack and a 70L backpacking pack. It was a tight squeeze but I'm almost proud of myself for packing so light.

Next weekend I am going to Dominical with 5 other students. It's a beach on the south Pacific side of Costa Rica where the water will be exceedingly blue and warm. I will be sure to let you know how that goes.
