We were super busy over the past few days, so we're behind on the blog. Carolina and I are putting together a learning module to teach students about blogging abroad, so it's kind of fun to learn these lessons ourselves - like the fact that Internet may be available, but you may have to climb a really steep hill to get to it. Seriously. At the UGA Ecolodge, internet was available at the main building, but that was a 10-minute hike away from our rooms. Fortunately, the connection was awesome there, and it's also in the same building as the cafeteria. That worked out well.
On Sunday, we hiked through a Monteverde cloud forest. It was incredible. And we got incredibly soaked. Being that a cloud forest in the rainy season is really a rain forest, it's to be expected. We did see a couple of really cool birds, mostly through binoculars. Then, in the afternoon, it was off to a small sugarcane farm that raised cane mainly to preserve the history and to show tourists old traditions of harvesting and collecting the juice.

Hey Stephanie, maybe when you come back you can explain why there are no hummers at our feeders in Athens this year. Past four years we've been as busy as Hartsfield; now, nada.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great summer gig you have.
