The Last Days

This is our last night at Las Cruces, for tomorrow we head to Cuerici, a remote site in the mountains, for five days. I'll tell you all about that when we get back, because there's no internet, even the phone is only for emergencies. But hey, what did I do the last couple days?

Well, earlier today I had my first test of the semester, a plant ID practical. Just a bunch of plants on tables that we had to identify to family. I did well, but I'm not looking forward to more of the same tests, but with over twice as many families that we have to know by the end (this time it was about 20).

Yesterday was our free day, and Hart and I spent the morning hiking through the forest, all the way into the nearby town, where the shuttle that is set up for us on free days picked us up. It was a great break, and we saw some cool stuff. Also, we stopped and I climbed the strangler fig featured in one of my earlier posts. Here's a view from the top and a view of me:That was great fun.

I spent most of the rest of the free day lounging about, finishing up my stats homework, as well as the identification of my ten required insects. Also: lots of futbol.

Now, I am tired and need to go to sleep. Look here for stories in six days or so. Hasta luego!
