Wow, this is the worst flood that I have seen during my 2.5 years here at La Selva! We are still unable to work in the forest due to the floods and yesterday we even had to ride a boat to the dining hall (a first for me). The soccer field next to recepcion is super flooded with the full-size goal nets almost completely submerged!
Carlos and I had to take an alternate boat home last night since a fast-flowing river had newly formed across the road where we normally exit the station. This was a real-life jungle cruise -- so fun! We boated through the flooded soccer field to the Ariera-Zompopa trail, through a gate until we hit the un-flooded hill on the main road.
The waters had subsided slightly when we came on station this morning (the fast-flowing river that formed yesterday was gone now), but the forest is still closed. Maybe things will be back to normal tomorrow?
