We left La Selva yesterday after lunch, stayed the night (or part of it at least) in San Jose, and then at 3:45 this morning we piled on a bus to get to the airport. Fourteen hours and 3 flights later, we're on Little Cayman! Needless to say, we're all a little delerious, but the research station here is awesome--literally right on the beach (like 10 feet from the water's edge). We arrived just in time for sunset and dinner.
The island is pretty tiny--only about 10 square miles. We flew in from Grand Cayman on a plane that was just big enough to fit our group of 15 and the pilot. Tomorrow we'll get a bit of an orientation in the morning and then get in the water after lunch! It'll be so wonderful to be able to swim in the ocean without worrying about getting eaten by a bull shark or a crocodile!
