Well well so as if 6 months of field in Costa Rica and Panama were not enough...after barely a month of being back in the US my advisor tells me he wants me to come and explore a national park in Honduras where they are planning to do research... what would I say? yes of course, trying to hide my excitement!!!!!! So today me and other 3 colleagues drove down to Miami and took a plane to San Pedro Sula, Honduras.
The flight was ok, I saw The Endless summer in the plane. It's a vintage surf movie that is really cool and funny at the same time, (loved it Bridge ;). The airport in Honduras was small and I didn't have any problems through immigration and customs. An already arranged van was waiting for us and after 2 hours we arrived to the lodge. The drive was very entertaining through curvy roads and with cool mountains in the horizon. A lot of poverty in this country, sad... The lodge is beautiful our cabin is very nice and we have internet!
The park is located in the north facing the Caribbean. I was talking to our driver and he told me there is a beach just 30 minutes from here and because of the tropical storm the waves should be nice! tomorrow, hahaha (besides doing my main mission, which is to explore the park and get some data for my disseratation) I will see if there is a place to rent a board in this beach called "La Ceiba" if yes, oh men I will surf every morning early and then go to the forest!!!
Ok I'm dead it's 10.28pm and I woke at 4.20am this morning, plus I just had an amazing weekend celebrating my birthday...gonna go to bed
This blog is about my adventures while doing research. Yeah this is what I do, this is what I love, and hopefully will continue to this until I die...
