Noah Tuell, sophomore at Trinity High School, and his group just extracted their first leaf cutter ant fungus garden. This species, Acromyrmex, is different from the Atta that we are after, but unique because it shows winged males.
Perfect ending to a wonderful trip. Students spent the afternoon on Playa Cabuyal... in northwest Costa Rica. After some swimming and exploring the inlet area, they were served an excellent BBQ meal on the beach. Even though we didn't see any monkeys on our morning hike with Freddie (yesterday), a large troop of monkeys came right through the camp. Our next adventure is to navigate the jungles of the airport... wish us luck. Trinity Students Enjoying the Sun Pacific Ocean... Here we come. Fearless Leader... John Doleman Family BBQ on the beach.... chicken, sausage, and steak with homemade guacamole and pico de gallo. YUM! Chillin with family. Monkey with a lil baby on it's back. Our final morning at Horizontes yielded a troop of monkeys, right out the back door. Eddie! Mi Amigo!
Big thanks to all the parents that reached out to help us return to Louisville. We especially want to thank Mrs. Lisa Tuell and Mrs. Smith for their help getting us a place to stay and some delicious food. Muchas Gracias! We had a wonderful trip and look forward to the Student Presentations, Thursday night at 7pm.
