We've been here 4 days, but hadn't been able to connect to the internet.. I am once again reminded of all the luxuries I take for granted living in the city..AC, internet, cell phones, fro-yo, walking outside without applying bug spray or putting on my wellies.. however, I do think I'd enjoy a quick holiday into the rain forest, or any non-urban area, for relaxation in the future. Since day 1 I keep picking up on many similarities between Costa Rica and the country side of Colombia (Chia, Zipaquira, etc.) and it makes me want to hop a plane and fly down to see my family in Bogota soooo badly! But when the "light" thunderstorm causes thunder and lightening strong enough to shake my cabin like an earthquake and you can smell the rain from INSIDE I do wish I was back in the city. I have been testing soils all week and hiking up and down the mountainous property taking photopoints with Mr. Marsden and I can say I've never had more dirt under my fingernails or such sore calves in my life, crazy! Today it was incredibly rainy so we only got to work in the morning..not that that is a problem seeing as we wake up with the sun and go to bed with the moon..literally..no joke..5am to 8pm..mhmm. Okay, I must go for today because Aliza and Kat still have to jot their thoughts down.. P.S. look back to blogs from days 1-3 once they're posted to see how the first couple of days went :)
