And so it begins....
When my dear friend Bugaboo went away to do her dissertation research, she made a blog of the whole experience so that we could all follow along. It was so cool that I decided to make my own blog when it came time for me to do my fieldwork.
Well, I haven’t left yet, but in a few short weeks, Rob and I will be leaving for Nicaragua, where I will follow howler monkeys through the forest for a year. Rob will be able to keep his job and work remotely as long as we’ve got electricity and an internet connection. We’ve supposedly worked out a way to have both, so I’m hoping for the best.
Please stay tuned as we finalize our plans for departure and embark on fabulous Nicaraguan adventures!

Nicablogua! Your blog is so much prettier than mine!
I haven't heard from you in a while. When do you leave?
And thanks for the Nat'l Geo!
Greg--
You are freaking out. Stop freaking out.
Jodi--
The plan is to leave soon. First week of August or thereabouts. There are some uncertainties which I may post about. These uncertainties involve the toughness tester. Oh, and I'm glad you like the Nat Geo! And also, I am glad you think the blog is pretty. I had a lot of free time to spruce it up last night when I couldn't sleep.
Greg (again)--
For the record, I have heard many Nicaraguans use the term "Nica" as an abbreviation for things pertaining to their country. It does not appear to have any negative connotations. However, I do agree that "nicablogua" is a much cooler title. Too bad I didn't come up with that one on my own. I think it is too late to change the website (unless I delete this blog and start over, which seems like too much of a pain), but maybe I will change the name on the title page.
Negro--
If you are going to have a fight with Greg, please do it somewhere other than the Nicablogua. I will try to keep my blog posts short so that you will continue to read them. If I make posts that are too long, maybe Frida can paraphrase it for you.
Thanks all, for reading and posting!!
g - hey! I was lonely (and it worked, didn't it? ;)
melissa, you blog as much and as long as you want! I'll always read them and post comments!
