Costa Rica Day 4



To day was exhausting hiked all over the forest installing our trail cameras. It was worth it though, I seen frogs everywhere. Almost every step we took frogs would be hopping out of the way. The same with the little grey hopping lizards. We also seen two big yellow spotted lizards. The best part though was seeing a big black shiny snake eating a frog, it was cool as hell. There were also these giant black and blue butterflies, and black and purple ones with big eye spots on the back of their wings. The weirdest thing I saw was this red butterfly/damsel fly looking insect with clear wings it was a trip.

During the evening we went to a culture exchange with the Ngabe people. They showed us a couple of their traditional dances we all got to join in on one of them. It was a lot of fun. They then told us about some of their cultural beliefs. For example their patterns on their clothing. Also their beliefs on thunder storms, and how they clear their houses of negative spirits. At the end of the day when we was back at our bunk house I showed some the CRIRE participants how to play hand game. Ended up losing my Colonies.
