Best Field Staion Ever

I have lived in some pretty remote and basic (i.e. no electricity, no running water, no toilets) places in my day. During my interview, Kino Bay was described to me as a small, remote, fishing village and the station as rustic and communal. When I arrived I felt like I was living in a nice hostel! The Kino Bay Centro de Estudios Culturales y Ecologicos is by far the nicest and most equipped field station I've ever been to. It is pretty much a compound of little houses and palapas (thatched roofed buildings). It began with just one building, but over the years has expanded to its current form which consists of five living areas for professors, fellows, and visiting researchers, a library, a computer lab, bathrooms, a few kitchens, and a communal living area for students, etc. 

A recent project was to create posters showing what the center does
