First day

Hi Everyone,
Some comments about my arrival to the Biological Station in Costa Rica



Travel
Sunday (mothers' day).
It took 5 hours, two chicken buses and one boat to hit Caño Palma Biological Station.





People (and..)
Mike Dunn and his two colleges (Maggie and Jack - the dogs) gave us a warming welcome.

Sea Turtles
We had a lunch-dinner then took a short nap. Why? We have to start at 10:00 pm our first walk on the beach looking for sea turtles.
We walked for 3 hours (6 miles) with no lights in complete darkness. Just thousands of millions of stars were illuminating our clumsy walk. No turtles today. We were looking for sea turtles nesting in this area (counting eggs, tagging turtles and collecting biometric data are part of our night patrols). In particular we are looking for the following species.

Leatherbacks, green turtles and hawksbill turtle



We will have to come to the beach tomorrow night and the night after tomorrow and so on.

Biological Station
Our suites are loaded with all amenities (Cockroaches, mosquitos, etc) but still good place to spend my next three months
