Greene, H. 1982 7 March Left San Francisco ~0030 AM, arrived San Jose, Coster Rica ~1530. Cab to hotel $7.00, Hotel Galilea $12 + tax. Dinner 110 colones (40 colones/#). On the flight down got a nice sunlit view of the Nicaraguan coast - in some places could see highlights of sheet of water among trees over big expanse of coast - swamps? Incredible clouds. 8 March Spent an hour after breakfast (40.7 col.) looking for botas de hule - rubber boots. Couldn't find any in the mercado or elsewhere. Caught Sansa flight to Rio Frio (160 colones), after a lot of trouble in the airport (I had a reservation but no ticket - which was better than vice versa). Picked up at Rio Frio by Bruce Williamson (OTS course coordinator) and McDonnelly (USC student). Rode to Punto Viejo for beer and boots (240 colones), then by canoe across Rio Puerto Viejo to La Selva. 9 March Up early, and out on West River Trail w/ Mo. Went as far as end of property, then returned to AC lab and took a circle by way of the Bio Research Trail and back down the West River Trail. No snakes, but lots of frogs and lizards. Dendrobates pumilio everywhere, some calling. Two
