Safe and Sound

It was a grueling day that began at 1:00 a.m. for some as the Ranger's Research Team made their way to MSP airport by 3:15 in the morning. While construction on HWY 5 conspired to make a few of the travelers late, we all managed to get through the security check and on the plane to Houston. We had a three hour layover before boarding a plane for the final leg of our trip to Liberia, Costa Rica.





Fortunately, customs and immigration were uneventful as we transitioned from getting there to being there. Our transport to La Anita included a great lunch in Liberia and a 2 1/2 drive from the dry Pacific coast to our lodge nestled in a volcanic valley.
It is now 8:20 pm in Costa Rica and 9:20 in Minnesota. The chore of blogging has fallen on this chaperone as all of the Ranger Researchers are nowhere to be found... could it be that they have retired to their cozy cabinas for a restful night of sleep?
