Farewell Costa Rica

I’m sitting in my hotel room as the last remaining representative of our group in Costa Rica. Even the Langseth set sail this morning and I just saw the agent head to the airport. The last week I’ve been traveling around Costa Rica with a few of the Wyoming students before they left and afterward by myself. The trip included beaches, a flat tire, Arenal, a guy that drove his car in a river, and the Smashing Pumpkins. It was a nice time to reflect on our successful project and enjoy Costa Rica. I fly back to Denver tomorrow morning after 80 days and this entry marks the end of elproyectoblog.

Until the next proyecto,
Matt

What it feels like to be back on land

At the dock in Puerto Caldera

New Horizon Day 30

We made it to port in the afternoon and transfered equipment at dock before putting down anchor in the harbor.  We took a water taxi in to Puntarrenas and enjoyed the freedom of being back on land for a few hours before taking a water taxi back to the ship.  We'll be heading to San Jose today to begin our travels around Costa Rica.  Today is the last day we'll be on the New Horizon.
