Hey Everyone! I may not be able to update this often while I'm down there, but check out where I'm going! I'm leaving July 18 for Costa Rica to study primate behavior and ecology in the Caribbean lowlands for a month. Then I will spend two weeks traveling around the country with one of the other students in my primate class. Hopefully we'll make to Manuel Antonio, Monteverde Cloud Forest, La Selva, and a few of the volcanoes! If anyone has any suggestions, please email me!

After Costa Rica, I am joining my family in Lima, Peru for my parents' 25th anniversary trip. We will be visiting Puerto Maldonado and the Tambopata Research Center to see the famous macaw clay licks and the Amazon rainforest. Then we will head to the highlands to Cusco. There we will begin our 4 day, 27 mile hike on the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. Oh, yeah, and I'm gonna eat cuy chactado! mmm.... cuy.... =) After all four of us die on the Inca trail, we will relax our feet in the Galapagos Islands. (Right! Like I'm gonna rest the the Galapagos!)
This is a trip I've wanted to do for a long time, and now I finally get to go!
My journey is coming to an end. I just finished a week in the Galapagos Islands. ¡Que bonito! I saw tons of frigatebirds, boobies, and marine iguanas. Mike, I'm sorry, I couldn't fit one in…
I did it! 27 miles in 3.5 days. It was incredible! At the Sun Gate the last morning we had our first glimpse of the ruins. My mom and I both cried. I screwed up my knee in the process. On the …
In OPeru now. I just spent about 5 days in the Puerto Maldonado area of the Amazon. It was amazing! I know I use that word a lot, but it's true. I saw tons of macaws, monkeys (even a night mon…

Hi Family! I hope you are having a wonderful trip. I am having fun at camp. I get to play with my friends Keoke and Roxy and go swimming everyday at their house. I didn't like the treats they had so I wrote what I wanted on the refrigerator and they bought me other ones. How cool! I also get to spend the night and play with Rocky at his house. I miss you, but this is the next best thing. Love Cooper
PS: Mom, I even get to sneak into the bed and sleep with Keoke's mom - she lets me. Keoke's dad makes me sleep on the floor!
