We do more than ecology

After few days of sampling plants, we decided to take a very close look at Arenal, the volcano eight miles south of us. We witnessed, close up, the most action we could have seen in a volcano--pyroclastic flows.  It was incredible to watch these for almost an hour. We came back to finish our work after few hours of our trip to the volcano but we helped treating the horses in Leaves and Lizards for garrapatas, a very nasty parasite that lives outside the body mainly in the ear of the horses. We all learned how to administer the medicine, including Dr. Brown who herself inspired our love for nature.
