Rummaging through some images from early 2005, I found this, our first "home" at Los Charcos de Osa. From time to time, one hears or reads about crazy couples who drag their young family into the savage back and beyond, all in the name of biodiversity conservation, then living for months under plastic, and cooking (et cetera!) al fresco. Well, that's just what we - Reinaldo Aguilar, Catherine V. Bainbridge and Nilo Francisco - did. When we first started managing the land here, we slept on this simple platform under a mosquito net. There was no power and no water... and that's how it all began!
