Oh my goodness! We hiked up the arenal volcano today and it actually exploded when we were up there!! It was amazing to hear and see. We saw boulders falling to the side of the mountain (thank god!) and heard lots of rumbling.
I forgot to mention the other night how I got to catch and count turtle eggs falling into a nest. I gotta say, it was interesting. I had a glove on one hand and an egg counter in the other hand. As cool as it was, it felt a little...invasive, for the turtle. I could feel the chloaca opening and closing as the eggs were being dropped. I counted 102 eggs. As soon as Phoebe (we named her) started filling in sand we were up and away from her asap so we wouldn't get sand thrown at us! That night we also had encounters with Emily, Abby, and Annie ... I named them. We measured and tagged them as well.
We're just sitting down to lunch after our encounter with arenal and may go on a hike over a bunch of suspended bridges.
