I'm glad you got your luggage back... well, most of it, at any rate! And it sounds like you're having a good time on the fringes of your workshop. Enjoy! (In my part of the world the weather has turned frosty enough to kill the basil, so all this talk of jungles and bananas and things feels very exotic to me. *grin*)

I'm told Ohio is gray and rainy and getting down to around 5 deg C. Hard frost is on the horizon.

Sheesh, when I got my databasing training for the Heritage Program, they sure didn't send me to Costa Rica! You are one lucky dog.

I have had orchata...but at a little fast-food Mexican restaurant in Columbus, Ohio. I believe orchata is made of a number of different seeds or grains depending on where. One of my Puerto Rican friends here does it in sesame. I think the Mexican version is rice (the one I have tried, but unfortunately without lemon peel). I have no idea of how Costa Rica does it. How's it done in Honduras? I'll see if I can dig some up and follow your recommendation.

Your hometown looks quite nice in the promotional website. Perhaps the next ecoinformatics workshop can be hosted there! Here at La Selva, it is jungle and humidity. I like it...but I am a little weird. For our weekend break, we stayed at a hotel on the San Lorenzo Cloud Forest. I hope to post a little more detail if I find more time soon.
