We are nearing the end of our research cruise and we have obtained and preserved thousands of samples over the past few weeks. Although I didn't get to dive in Alvin, the trip was worth it. It was also nice to work with some people outside of the tree-ring community. I will update the blog probably one or two more times at the most before returning to "The Haute". Most of the work has been repetitive, which is why the posts have been lacking recently.
We will be leaving the ship on the 9th and commuting towards San Jose, Costa Rica. Plans currently are to explore around the Monteverde area, eat a slice a pizza, and drink some Mt. Dew and maybe some more Guanabana....boy am I excited.
Since there is not a decent place to dock our ship, we have to take a water taxi in to Puntarenus and catch a cab to San Jose.

Some of you expressed interest in seeing what the lunch room looked like....T.V. shows different camera angles of sections of Atlantis.....No cable........
