It's truly an amazing country. Today we left the wonderful Finca la Anita. Pablo and Ana were amazing hosts, and we will miss their warmth, delicious food, and beautiful home, not to mention their omnipresent dog, Vito Corleone. Adios to our friends!

| Eddie, our driver, and Beth Hunt '83 (both in back), will take us to our next location. |
 |
| After about 90 minutes we can still see Ricon de la Vieja, now from the south. On the right is a thermal vent, and in front is a major product of Guanacaste: Sugar Cane |
Our new hotel has very, v e r y slow Wifi. So more pictures in a awhile. But today we ended at Playa Jobo, catching, measuring, and tagging rays.
 |
| This was our first catch. Careful of the tail! |

| We had our first meal at El Jobo at the home of Kembli. Her cooking was excellent local cuisine, but more importantly is one of the local businesses that are supported by the turtle research project: Equipo Tora Carey. It is so nice to see visiting researchers care so much about the local community. A number of the assistants are drawn from the village. |
 |
| The kids dove right in. The water was warm, the beach as warn stones, and everyone strapped on flippers and a snorkel. By the end we had caught, measured, tagged, photographed and released 5 rays. Not bad for a first day. |
