Today, our last day on our Costa
Rican research experience, was the perfect way to top off this amazing trip.
After our breakfast of the usual eggs rice and beans, our group embarked on the
long awaited monkey hike. There were two reasons for our excursion this
morning; to compare the previously explored rainforest to the dry forest found
along the coast, and to see some primates. Unfortunately, there were no monkeys
to be found, although a glimpse of a crocodile and a beautiful waterless
waterfall satisfied our appetite for adventure. Following lunch, we made our
way to the same pristine beach in which we witnessed the East Pacific Rim Black
Turtle give birth. Untouched by resorts and tourists, our day on the beach was
a time for some much needed relaxation. A delicious barbeque consisting of
steak, chicken and kielbasa accompanied us as we watched the sun setting over
the Pacific. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to end our journey in Costa
Rica. It has been a long and wonderful trip and we are excited to be reunited
with Minnesota late tomorrow night!
