\t\t\t\t\t\t Another delayed post.. still haven\u2019t found my way to the
phone or internet.. and my motivation to do so is fading fast <\/p>\n

Another beautiful day n paradise here. It\u2019s amazing.. it\u2019s
like living in a zoo.. monkeys everywhere, flocks of brightly colored Macaws ,<\/p>\n

And insects the size of birds\u2026\u00a0\u00a0 What\u2019s even more amazing is
that its only been raining at night.. , there are no mosquitoes or other biting
bugs <\/p>\n

(except sand fleas) and it\u2019s not too hot !<\/p>\n

I woke today to find all of our shoes neatly washed and
waiting for us.. (Diane ?).. we get many comments on our<\/p>\n

Five fingers\u2026 they\u2019re turning out to be great jungle and
beach wear. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I heard Howler monkeys outside at just before\u00a0 am.. and went
out to investigate.. We\u2019re all up and around <\/p>\n

by 6.. with the sunrise.. because we\u2019re going to bed around
8:30 <\/p>\n

I ran into this wild turkey pecking around our food scraps. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Gabe rigged his video camera to a stick to get up close and
personal with one of the face sized spiders that <\/p>\n

lives in our yard..<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Diane went off with our host Lyn for a Yoga class<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

While Max, Gabe and I went for an explore\/run down the
\u2018road\u2019 to some of the the other\u00a0 beaches..<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

(more like a ditch !)<\/p>\n

There were monekys everywhere we looked.. Howlers and Spider
monekeys mostly.. they hung out in the trees near the beach.<\/p>\n

Ahh.. two can play that game !<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The beach was rocky and the water a blue green murk. I think
it would be clear if it weren\u2019t for the tons of rocks and shells it stirs <\/p>\n

up with every wave.. <\/p>\n

Gabe and Max found some cool stuff among the rocks.. like
these fossils. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And this amazing hawk<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The most amazing thing to see around our house and the
beaches are the huge flocks of <\/p>\n

Scarlet Macaws. They\u2019re everywhere.. they\u2019ry are so
beautiful.. and noisy !.. it\u2019s amazing to see when a wole flock of them takes
off. <\/p>\n

They are huge birds !!<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Though.. they\u2019re not the only colorful\u00a0 thing around here\u2026

<\/p>\n

There are many other kinds of birds.. we saw these black
hawks .. this one was staring at us in our kitchen.. we even saw Tucans later
in the day<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Late in the day we took a nature walk with William. The
groundskeeper guy here.. He doesn\u2019t speak English..<\/p>\n

So it was a test of my Spanish to keep translating .. he\u2019s
very knowledgeable. He introduced us to this <\/p>\n

Fruit.. (saporito ? ).. it gave me wicked cotton mouth.. but
no one else.. strange !<\/p>\n

As we walked for 32.5 hours we saw a ton of cool bugs, Plants\u2026<\/p>\n

And best of all\u2026 two waterfalls.. We stuck Samstones in<\/p>\n

both. ! One flowed between two rivers.. the other had this cool water cave and<\/p>\n

a <\/p>\n

Hole like a window cut through the rock by the water.\u00a0 Max<\/p>\n

amanaged to lob the SamStone right through the hole.. <\/p>\n

It was a long, wonderful day.. we went home and made beans
and rise, looked at some of our pictures.. and drifted off to bed around 8L30\u2026<\/p>\n

Now it\u2019s Friday and time to do it all again.. I can\u2019t wait !<\/p>\n

More tomorrow..
Hasta la vista ya\u2019ll .. hasta la vista Sam..<\/p>\n

Pds. Unloaded the other camera last night.. found these two
good pics Diane took of us on the Zipline..<\/p>\n
