22:45 The first notable event of today was the shell-o-rama which was interesting in that the groups reactions were particularly entertaining. I found a somewhat unusual crabs exoskeleton carapace on the beach.
I then took a select small group to the
upper stream area, where we saw some different (striped) litter frogs on the
walk up, with the focus of finding either butterflies or howler monkeys of
which we caught a couple of the first and found some poo of the second,
conveniently left on a fallen tree you had to duck under as if placed there.
At lunch we had the best chicken I have
ever had, no really it was incredible! I found out from a book that the
beautiful butterfly I saw in Corcovado was actually an interesting diurnal
moth! Therefore I have to correct my statement to say that it is the most
beautiful moth I have ever seen.
Evergreen had got together at the dorm
house on the back porch, where they had chosen one of their ideas from the
previous “50 questions” exercise to discuss with the group and DL, which was
insightful and interesting.
In the evening we had a rather comical
geology lecture with ML which started with him flinging a somewhat larger Wolf
Spider under the front desk by the feet of some girls which was pretty
entertaining to watch.
The day ended with a brief discussion on
if I actually get to go up to the Monte Verde valley at this time, which would
be a fascinating change of scenery, not that I could ever get bored here.
