DuVal, E.H. 1999 Journal San Jose to Wilson Botanical Garden, Costa Rica 6 June 1999 Bus to the Wilson Botanical Gardens/ Las Cruces Biological Station, courtesy of OET/OTS. I was going anyway, so I had a free ride. My field notes from Monteverde and my poncho are officially lost - perhaps the notes were accidentally packed with Rob Clay's luggage? Las Cruces is gorgeous. An undergrad course based out of Duke is here, and one of the professors has ties with Mercedes Foster (same study area, etc.) and offered to answer any last-minute Peru questions if I go.

Victor accompanied me to San Vito to buy groceries and a machete before the trip.
