Trip Photo Album

We would like to thank our followers for reading all about our field work in Costa Rica. Today is, sadly, our last day in Cahuita, but that does not mean the project is over! While we pack up and head home to North Carolina, we would like to share our amazing trip with you! Please, enjoy some of our favorite photos. Do not forget to check back with us – analysis, interpretation, and processing await us on the other side. Keep your eyes open to find out the interpretations we make in the next few weeks!

Just another day at work!
