The last week has been a frenzy of activity, but it looks like I'm ready now. I've packed and repacked, gotten my shots (tetanus/diphteria, typhoid, and hepatitis A), and carefully chosen which heavy books to bring along (Stiles and Skutch's "Guide to Birds of Costa Rica" and Dan Janzen's "Costa Rican Natural History"). They should give me something to do in my 5-hour layover in Atlanta tomorrow. I'll spend my first three nights in San Jose getting acclimated; the course (the Organization for Tropical Studies' aka OTS's, Tropical Ecology) gets started Friday morning with breakfast at the hotel. So there will be 2 days for adventures on my own!If any of you have been to San Jose and know of something I shouldn't miss, let me know. Most of the people I have asked say I should miss San Jose in favor of volcanic hot springs or some quiet time on an isolated beach. If you're one of those people, I don't want to hear from you. :)
A tip for anyone new to this blog's format: if you want to see the photos larger, click (or double click?) on them. Here I'm in Matt's apartment in Detroit with all my luggage, communicating my true feelings in that special way I have...

It looks like Matt got the cookbooks. I was hoping to snag one and cook some Indian food. That's it! No more Indian food for me. Thaaaat's it!!!
Ha Ha Ha,
hilarious picture. Not sure what your face conveys: a bitter sweet mixture of excitement and horror!
It is 12.25am. Just got back from work. Chanelled my stress by eating potatoes chips and icecream. My stomach is not to happy about this. I will work it off at the gym tomorrow. I would love to be with you in Costa Rica. Joseph spend some time there before the wedding with his best friend Scott. He loved it. I will ask him which places he recommends. Enjoy the fruits, food and coffee.
Besos, Carolina:)
