Friday and Saturday Plan

Tomorrow is our last day in the forest collecting data. We will then come back and debrief the information we collected and ask questions of the scientists. On Saturday, our time in the jungle comes to an end. I have really enjoyed being here and learning about this amazing place, but I am ready to return home (my pillow seems to make a better sponge!) Before I head home, though, I will be spending one night in Old San Juan to get the feel for city life here in Puerto Rico. Then, I will be on a flight back to Boston on Sunday.

I just figured out how to add some of my video clips to this blog...they are located on the right. They are linked from youtube.com, but there is no need to go the site. They will play directly in the blog. Don't worry if you can't play them, I will show them to you when I get back next week.

The first video is of a n anolis lizard hanging out on a palm tree. The lizard doesn't do much, but you can get an idea of how still they are. With luck, more to come, enjoy!

Webcast! (attempt)

This morning we tried to do a webcast from the research station in the PR rainforest to the Kiwi Team at Curtis Middle School in Sudbury, MA. It is a pretty amazing idea... and it worked for the most part. There were some difficulties with knowing if/how/when the students could hear me, but overall, I think it went well.

Here I am doing the webcast from an outside table. It stopped raining long enough for us to do it, but we kept getting disconnected... this is life when relying on satellites.
