The research station
where I got to stay for my 7th Earthwatch Expedition was a very nice
place. The layout was basically a duplex, with volunteers on one
side and Scientists on the other side. There was only one other volunteer (for
a total of two, including myself) so we each got our own room.
The scientists were all great
people - I enjoyed getting to know each one of them. Adam was the station
manager; Cory was his assistant manager; Alison, Tamara, Cara, Juan and Anna
were biologists working with the turtles. There was a maid and two gate-guards
as well, but I did not catch their names.
The other volunteer was Ute,
from Canada. She was a Veterinary doctor who worked on horses back home. She
had an unending sense of curiosity and wanted to know about everything. She and
I spent a lot of time just chatting about this & that, and even got to
spend some time together after the expedition ended.
