You’re in the Jungle Baby!

But hopefully I am not going to die.  Not that the jungle won’t attempt to kill everything that crosses its path.
 
We got to Cost Rica two days ago.  I think.  At this point I have lost all sense of time and barely know what day it is.  My flights were uneventful, though I did get to fly first class.  Everyone else on the crew was in coach.  I had agreed to fly out a day early hence they bumped me up.  I tried to avert my eyes as the rest of the crew filed past.
 
Once we got to San Jose, we all jumped into a bus and made the two and a half hour trip all the way to our hotel - The Sarapiquis.  It is beautiful, nestled next to a rain forest and right next to the Sarapiquis river.  No internet, no ac and lots of nature.  Somehow I got the best room.  It is on the second floor, has two bedrooms and has a great patio with a view of the jungle.  Plus, I have two floor fans, which is a huge.  Everyone else has one slow moving ceiling fan. 
 
We are roughly forty minutes away from base camp, which is where all the shooting and editing occurs.  It is massive.  Hundreds of people have taken over a resort and turned it into a little studio.  I would show you a picture, but one editor took some photos and they confiscated his camera and erased them all.
 
We also learned about how dangerous the jungle can be.  Killer snakes, killer frogs and fauna that will screw you up.  The first day I was here a tiny red frog crossed our path.  Adorable.  I did not touch it, which was smart.  I later learned it was poisonous.
 
The only negative of this trip is how much I miss my wife and dog.  Mostly my wife.  We have spoken everyday, utilizing my credit card.  I imagine that might be expensive.  I will try to keep you up to date as often as I can.  There is lots to tell.  And photos.  Lots and lots of photos.
