It’s the weekend and what better time to catch up on work! My long to-do list is lying in front of me, but I am procrastinating…… I am busy calculating the total number of miles I walked on Tortuguero beach in one field season. I’ve come up with 2,106 miles (3,370 km). Hmmm…but I need to put this number into some perspective. So, here’s what I figured out. I have walked any one of the following:

 Miami to New York (round-trip)
 Santiago, Chile to Buenos Aires, Argentina and then to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
 Accra, Ghana, to Ougadougou, Burkina Faso to Casablanaca, Morroco
 Beijing to Bangkok
 Sydney to Perth

I really must get back to work now!
