"Did a morning rain forest hike up to the ridgeline behind Golfito. Quite pleasant - if you don't mind slogging up steep and slippery trails in heat, 100% humidity, and not a hint of a breeze under the canopy. My clothes were absolutely soaked with sweat when I got back. Saw birds, a bat, leafcutter ants, and lots of lizards, but no monkeys or sloths or anything fancy. A few people have reported seeing macaws and toucans around, but I haven't.
"Hung around ship this afternoon, then it started pouring rain in the later afternoon. So eating dinner in the wardroom looked pretty good.
"Tomorrow morning is a rain forest tour that Lee has arranged for his class, and I'm going along. It's being done through an ecotourism lodge nearby, but I don't know any more than that.
"There are rumors that we're going to be staying here through the day on Friday, rather than leaving Friday morning, to accomodate some high-level visitors from San Jose, the capital. But so far they're rumors only, nothing that's been confirmed."
