I flew into the small airport in La Ceiba yesterday evening. Angela, a ProTECTOR employee, met me there and made sure I got to the hotel safely. There I met Dr. D and Amy. We were suppose to stay last night and tonight, then go to the refuge tomorrow, but it looks like we will be in La Ceiba until Thursday. The student who was suppose to get in today had her flight delayed, so we will be sticking around La Ceiba until she gets here.
Because we are just waiting to go to the refuge, we had a lot of downtime today. We walked to the store to get groceries and some supplies for the refuge, but other than that had a pretty chill day. Amy and I have been taking advantage of the hotel pool--especially since it is very humid here.
Tonight we have had some heavy rain and lightning which is forecast to last most of the rest of the week. That should make going to Cuero y Salado more interesting--especially the nightly beach walks!
Cuero y Salado is an isolated wildlife refuge. The only way to get out into the park is to take a narrow gauge rail train. Out where we will be staying there is no running water or electricity, but there should be plenty to do and see. I'm hoping for both manatees and crocodiles there, as well as turtles, of course!
