It's late (actually only 10:15, but when breakfast is at 6:30, that's late) so I don't have time for a long post. BUT I did finally take some pictures that I wanted to share. This morning we went on a walk through the botanical gardens, stopping to talk about some the plant species both native and introduced. Technically, none of the plants in the garden are truly native because they were all cultivated by the original Wilson family but some are Costa Rican plants while others are from other parts of the world.
I'll hopefully have more time to post tomorrow (or at least on Sunday--our only day off), but for now, enjoy these pictures!

That rainforest hiking gear is flattering to everyone, isn't it? :) Is the area where you girls are standing a part of the common space, with the doors to your left and right being dorm rooms?
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you!
Looks like there is a lot of beauty there. Including the tall blond dutch girl from WV.
