Ware Lab Blog at Rutgers: Past Guyana Trip Day 3

Rest of the team arrived

We awoke to bad news that the Caribbean Airlines flight that as to arrive just prior to the flight the rest of the lab were on crash landed in Georgetown. Worse, it broke into two pieces and all incoming flights were delayed. We spent the day doing laundry and curating our material. We went over to the farm, and got caught in a nice rain storm. We came back and had Dal, rice and plantain for lunch. When our team arrived, better late than never, we went for a walk over the the farm and then to Splashmin’s.

Here’s Ian:

It has been an adventure so far, and we just got here. We survived the chaotic Caribbean airports (plane crashes, rough weather, rowdy crowds, endless lines). . . so the rain forest will be a walk in the park.

Here’s Liz:

Sixteen hours from my apartment to CEIBA. Sleeping on an airport floor waiting for the next available flight. Needless to say I’m running on fumes. PHEW! the hard parts over. Let the jungle fun begin :-)

Manpreet’s turn:

Oh my gosh, Guyana is so great. Everything is so green compared to New Jersey. It really is awesome. So cool. I am a little tired from the trip but I REALLY want to go around and see all the cool stuff.

And now Nicole:

Guyana is beautiful!! Happy we made it here safely:) Looking forward to a productive trip. Ohh and some more fun taxi rides with our driver!!!
