Nexus STRI

We arrived safe and sound last night. Kids slept hard and woke up at 5:30 to go to the canopy tower to see the birds and animals wake up. They were amazed to see their first howler monkeys only feet away, at eye level from the canopy tower. We also saw the rare Geoffrey Tamarind and more toucans than we could count. Red Lore parrots were all around and the kids were beside themselves with excitement. Right now, as I type this, they are being lectured by a STRI staff scientist about the history of STRI. All is well and I'll try to send a group email or blog as much as possible. Unfortunately, my international cell is disfunctional here but I am in the process of getting a replacement which I'll have tomorrow. If you need us, please email me as I'll probably check this once or twice a day. In the case of an emergency, Mrs. Mullis does have a contact number for Nelida Gomez, our primary STRI contact.

Just a quick update: Kids are reviewing geology of the canal right now as a larger introduction to the overall course material to be studied this program.
