This is a veiw of the laguna from La Roca, another small mountain overlooking the flood plain of Rio Tempisque. Those dark areas may look like water, but they are just dark, dry soil. There is no water and my research plan is now in the midst of changing…
I was stung yesterday by this scorpion (Centruroides margaritatus) that had decided to hide in a sink.
While playing soccer with the folks here in Palo Verde, I got a blister that covers almost the entire ball of my foot. I made the thumbnail of a picture I took of the wound small, so if you find it disgusting it’s more difficult to see. I cut off some of the skin that had begun tearing off, but the rest is still intact. There’s currently no soreness after two days but it hurt quite a bit just after finishing our game.
