Morning in La Selva

A few breakfast companions here at La Selva Biological Research Center in Serapaqui, Costa Rica. It's very hot and humid here with lots of Biologists. Talked to a butterfly researcher yesterday, a dung beetle specialist today.

Morning in Uvita


The bag is an example of the weaving of the Boracu Indigenous People- it makes a great knitting bag.

The other picture is a view from the pool of the villa we are staying at in Uvita, Villas de las Aves.  A beautiful place to stay, just up the mountain from the Pacific coast which is one beach after another here in Costa Rica.
