Buenas tardes de Costa Rica!
So I´m here and I walked about 8 kilometers to come and tell you all about it! Its amazing basically, the beach, the girl I´m working with and all the people in the town. Its not nearly as isolated as I thought! There´s a small restaurant-bar where we have all our meals about an kilometer from the house and a convience store and a few other things too. On the VERY bright side I get to use surfboards for FREE because I´m a coordinator and the guy is really cool about it! I´m pretty excited for that in a few days once I we get done building the hatchery. Its almost done now and we´ve already found two turtle nests, taken out the eggs and transplanted them into a more secure fenced in area.

Besides the beach, which is awesome, I´ve been reading a bit, hanging out in my hammock and doing some great yoga. My partner here is pretty into aerobics so sometimes we do that too...like some crazy gringas in bikinis jumping around on the beach is totally normal. Everyone is super friendly and keeps stopping by the house asking how everything is going and if we´ve found any nests yet. I´m not sure if they´re really genuinely interested or they´re thinking about how they might go about stealing the eggs. Apparently the turtle eggs are a hot commodity in Costa Rica and many of the people in town and elsewhere steal them to sell or supplement their families´ diets.
I don´t really have much time to contarles todo but with a little luck I can upload some photos and continue the story next time!

ALSO! This the phone number for the restaurant that we eat all our meals at and they said you could call us there anytime! We´re there at 9, 1, and 6 costan rica time so that´d be 11, 3, and 8 for you guys! 0050626558046.
