08:00 Last night I mostly slept but with
the snake potentially nearby it was a little scary. I discovered I got bitten a
lot again last night on my feet and there was another storm also. I decided
against going with the plumbers to "the mountain," who were here when
I woke - maybe next time or with the ATV owner park guard or something - he had
also made some Tamarindo drink but it was way too sugary for me.
18:30 So I took the weather, and decided
to sort my hard drive/photos out. I formatted the master drive though it turns
out that starting from fresh and copying over all my Costa Rica stuff again was
only successful for a short while. Upon returning the ATV owner (I really need
a better nickname) was trimming the path so I sat and read more of the coral
reefs book after I had found a baby Gecko that had hard egg casing looking
stuff coating its tail still.

The guard fixed the sink and taps, and
after another lime-onade ice lolly the plumbers asked me why I didn't go, next
time I said in truth. Then after lunch I significantly improved my Spanish
before returning to the lab in the evening.
For the night I: had dinner (a mountain
of ants had invaded the stove but luckily not the food), I decided that Ants
and Snakes are not my favourite of animals, then I learnt some more Spanish -
animals this time, and read as because of the tides I missed out on a late
night snorkel.
