Fer-de-lance

We're still trying to figure out what is going on with our power here in the house and haven't heard back from any technicians.  So we wait.
Adrian arrived yesterday and we've been going over some of the major ideas that need to be implemented in the coming months regarding the operation of Cerro Osa, the Osa Biodiversity Center, and Friends of the Osa in general.  He definitely keeps things balanced though, making sure to take time to relax and breathe while discussing work.
We walked down the Terciopelo trail [Terciopelo means Fer-de-Lance in English] to check out a possible site for constructing a new turtle station for volunteers.  Manuel Ramirez was in front, Adrian second, I was third and Saima was in back.  I saw something scuttle in the leaf litter and immediately stopped.  Adrian turned around and confirmed that it was a Fer-de-Lance.
Aptly named trail! 
Unfortunately we broke rule number one of the good photographer so words will have to suffice for today.
