Updated Google Map & Stuff

Hey Guys, 

I updated the Google Map of Cayo with some reference points and important locations.  I'll try to put up more stuff soon. 

Today is a pretty slow day. Katie and Brian went out to the island early this morning to pilot some of Katie's risk aversion studies. I wasn't needed, so I got to sleep in! Unfortunately, waking up so early everyday has already changed my sleep cycle. I couldn't sleep past 9am. :( Oh well, I guess it's all equal in the end, given the fact that I couldn't keep my eyes open past 9pm last night.

Beautiful day here. I plan to read a bunch and maybe hang out with some of the other researchers some more. Get to know people, etc. We had a big researcher/staff brunch at a Bonanza in Humacao yesterday after work. It was delicious, and I got a chance to meet and get to know some of the other people better: Gisele, a census taker, Sasha, a research assistant, Monica, one of the researchers from Max Planck (actually an import from South Africa), etc. It was quite nice, and I'm starting to feel like I have a bit of a handle on things now.  

That said, there isn't much to do here besides work or read. I have already powered through Watchmen and almost all of my Rachel DeWoskin memoir, so I just had to order a ton of books on Amazon and have them shipped down here. :) Yay for reading time! Giant Nay for Rosetta Stone, which turns out to cost an arm and a leg for just one level. I thought I could order it and start learning Spanish, but I'm not willing to pay that much, when Harvard libraries lets you have it for free on campus. So, I settled for "Spanish for Dummies," and hopefully, it'll prove useful and dummy-proof. 

Okey doke. I'll post more pictures tomorrow. I have some wicked shots of a little gecko doing a mating display on our front porch. Heh. :)

Love to all!

P.S. - I got a shot of the Bingley-stray! Look, Mom, no tail!
