7/11/13

We didn't do a whole lot on Tuesday because of tropical storm Chantal so there isn't a whole lot to report from that day. We just sat around the station and took the night off.

Wednesday was a longer day. We had to make an unexpected trip to the airport to drop off an unhappy member of the crew. So we made the best of that day and spent part of that day in Old San Juan where we ended up feeding some overly friendly pigeons, ate coconut ice cream, and explored the city. After leaving the city we stopped and explored a beach shortly and headed back to the station where we relaxed shortly and prepared for the night of work we had ahead of us.

The original plan for Wednesday was to do the whole big grid and not have a night off until Saturday but due to some unforeseen circumstances, another group working in the rainforest picked up the markers for the other 10 plots we were going to split, so we ended up only doing part of it, which might be a plus since our group ended up running behind anyway because we had a member get ill and had to take them back to the station.
