Today is the last day that the field course will be here. It will be strange when they are gone, as it’ll be much emptier around here, and we’ll go back to our old power cycle. It might even be relatively quiet, save the screams of the children Vikri, Ikram, and Igoh.

I wish that I had brought more books along with me, as I’ve already finished three and I’ve only got a few left.

Early this afternoon, the DGFC “family” and the field course took a big group photo together to commemorate their being here. Later on, I went out into the field with Meg and Aubrey to set up some motion-activated cameras and other civet tracking equipment for the first time. We traveled up the river to four separate locations and placed the gear, and then headed back to DG after about three hours. Working with the two of them was really nice–they are both quite fun to be around (not that others aren’t; the group here is quite charming). On our way back, Meg said that we would be having a barbeque this evening; I assume as one last hurrah for the field course prior to their departure in the morning.
