Ah yes, the rainy season has truly arrived now. There have been thunder storms all through last night and this morning resulting in a huge flood. The rain has not stopped at all and the directors of the station have closed the forest! There are actual signs posted around the lab clearing at all the forest entrances preventing anyone from going inside. To enter the station from our house we have to ride in a little boat since one of the rivers has flooded across the road! It is pretty exciting and not scary at all, just a little weird to see the forest that you are so used to literally transform into a floodland overnight! This is the second flood that I have been in here at La Selva. The last one occurred about one year ago around this same time in July and they closed the forest then too--wacky fun.
