Guanacaste to San José, Costa Rica 7 August Up ca 6:00AM, breakfast, + then Dought, CF, DBW + I spent an hour or 2 turning loops in the pasture below Casa Mingo. Found nothing. We then walked back down the trail toward Finca Handel as far as the first stream before Casa Mingo (ca. 1075 m elev.) looking for lizards. Found only 3 Centrolenella (?) tadpoles in the stream - nothing else. We got excellent views of Spider + (Howler monkeys) however, and a brief view of a white- faced capuchin. Returned to Casa Mingo ca 11:30 for lunch then headed back to Finca Handel (through torrential rain), where we were met by a 4-wheel drive truck to take us back to Santa Rosa. The driver of the truck turned out to be a stream biologist, Carlos de la Rosa. Back to Santa Rosa ca. 3:00PM when we talked with Janzen for a while + preserved the lizards we had gotten yesterday. Then left Santa Rosa + drove to San José (again in ± torrential rain - horrible driving conditions), arriving at Hotel Presidente ca. 11:00 PM. Twenty Volcán Poas, Prov.
