Day 1

-
I originally arrived to San Jose on Sunday morning around 8 AM. I think the first thing I noticed when we landed was the weather. It was so hot and humid and I absolutely love it! Winter is my least favorite season, so being here in the tropical climate feels so great to me.
After I got settled into the hotel, I walked around their botanical gardens they have. I was so amazed by the diversity of plants just at the hotel. While walking around I met some other students that were also from the United States. They were on a service project and were going to clean up beaches and visit a monkey sanctuary.
Around noon, I ended up sleeping the rest of the day until we all met up at 6 PM for dinner. I was exhausted after travelling so almost immediately after dinner I went to bed. However, after the stress of traveling I am so very excited about the opportunity to be here and I feel so grateful for this opportunity!

Exploring and Brainstorming

Today was so great! We started off with a tour of the botanical gardens around the station led by the biologist stationed here. He gave us a short history of the area and showed us so many types of native and non-native plants. The area we are in used to be pasture land about 60 years ago, when the Wilson's came along they planted the 2nd largest collection of plants in the world. There are about 3000 different species and 40% of them are native. This diversity draws in 415 species of birds in Las Cruces and various mammals. Then we hiked the forest to Rio Java, seeing the rainforest in real life was so different than I had expected. It was dense with vegetation and it was so beautiful! After our tour, we met with our mentors to brainstorm our projects. I will be studying the Shampoo Ginger with Mike Helm. The Shampoo Ginger is an invasive ornamental plant and there is very little known about it. We decided to do a broad study on the types of growing conditions it prefers. We will...

Last Day

Our last day in Costa Rica was spent travelling back to the airport hotel we stayed in the first night. The trip back to San Jose was really fun! We stopped at Playa Dominical, I think thats the name of the beach. It was an interesting area. They had restaurants and hotels all along the street by the ocean. At the edge of the streets were booths of people selling souvenirs, clothes, jewelry, and other items. The beach was very rocky and the water was rough, but still beautiful. Next we stopped at a bridge where crocodiles hang out under. I have never seen a crocodile outside of a zoo, and I was so impressed by their size! They were massive! We also stopped at a souvenir shop and there were some almond trees that had scarlet macaws eating from them. The colors were so bright and gorgeous on these birds! To end the day we had one final dinner together and prepared for our trip home. Scott and Jessica did an amazing job with this trip. I made many friends and had rare experiences that I ...

Presentation Day!

We presented our poster today and it went really well! We practiced a lot this morning and it really paid off. I felt that every group did so great, everyone was able to do all their data collection, analysis, and poster within about six days. It was a big relief to be done, and even though I have had a lot of fun in this program, I am very excited to go home. I feel very blessed to have this opportunity to come to a country that I have always wanted to visit and spend my time here with some great people. I will never forget each person who was involved in the program, everyone was so kind to me and I feel like I made many friends. If I did not have a position set up for this upcoming summer 2019, I would definitely apply for the longer two month summer program that is held here. I can't wait to be home and spend time with my family to celebrate the rest of the Christmas holiday.
