Day Five July 31st

Day Five July 31st

Good evening from the rich cultural jungle of Costa Rica
Today was filled with science and adventures. Science today was very frustrating as nothing seemed to go as planned. And then, after a lunch, there was a hike. This was no normal hike. This hike was 2 miles one way. Down hill. On slippery mud. While wearing rubber boots. It was glorious. And at the end of this two mile hike there was A wide spot in the river and we got to go swimming. Some swam like crazy to pass a strong current to get to the other side. Eventually we made our way back to shore, tried to dry off as best we could, put put clothes back on,  and started our trek back to Finca. The walk back was just a tad harder than the walk there as it was all up hill on slippery mud. After many breaks and making sure Nikki (who was nauseous before the trip) didn't get sick we made it back and returned to our science. After dinner there was a night hike to find bugs and other interesting creatures. After that hike some went to bed and some went back to their experiments.
