Hi! I guess I'm writing the first post?
OK here's an intro to my stuff in Costa Rica..
After an unexpected slumber party in the Atlanta airport, I arrived yesterday afternoon to Finca Luna Nueva, the farm I'll be working at, in San Isidro in northwest CR..
There are some students from EARTH University in CR visiting la finca, which is nice because I can kind of just follow them around while being introduced to everything. Today, before during and after applying a mycorrhizae spray to the turmeric plants, I saw and heard a bunch of cute and not-so-cute things: a hook-nosed pit viper, a paca, toucans, piglets, lambs, a sloth, tree frogs, and the "ghosts in a blender" sound of red howler monkeys. The difference between here and manhattan is .... really great.
I'm still a bit sleep deprived but I was able to start tagging the plants I'll be using for my experiment today, and it actually looks like it will happen!
Ok well, I hope that this post doesn't get lonely on here all by itself...
Hope everyone's having a great summer
Lisa
