Sinterklaas and zwarte Piet found my wish list and with a little help from the Ambassador they got me a new passport!
I also meet with the research director of Central America from The Nature Conservancy and another well respected Marine Biologist at the University of San Jose. Trough them I got to know almost every biologist in Costa Rica. However, due to the crisis, they all have been firing instead of hiring new staff. My timing could have been better but I keep good faith...
