Thanksgiving

Hey, today is Thanksgiving day -- happy Thanksgiving everybody! Although Costa Rica doesn't celebrate it (duh), La Selva has a delicious Thanksgiving feast each year since most of the researchers here are gringo. It is also a nice chance for the ticos to learn about our holiday. There will be a big party on station tonight around 6pm with tons of delicious turkey, potatoes, pumpkin pie, etc. I was here for it last year too and it was a nice, relaxing dinner. They even have candles and tablecloths! I will bring my camera with me tonight so that I can take pictures and I will be sure to post them tomorrow. To everyone in my family: eat lots of green top salad for me!
