Preparing
After an eventful trip to New York City (photos here) and Long Island for a friend's wedding, I am spending a few days here in Wilmington, NC to unwind from a busy semester, spend time with my girlfriend, and prepare mentally for two months out of the country. Two friends and I leave Saturday morning for San Pedro Sula, the nearest big city to the little town where we'll be living for a month. I'm excited about returning and being able to see all the people I met last year, and hopefully become even better friends with the local guys we hire to help us in the field. Research wise I'm expecting a relatively laid back work schedule, as the ratio of time spent collecting data to information yield is in my favor. The first week of July another grad student and I will hop over to Guatemala City to spend a month working on another project. As was the case last year phone and internet communication will be limited, and that's not necessarily a bad thing.
