A busy day

Last night we went up the road to see if the monkeys would come through at their usual 3:30pm to the el erado.  No monkeys but the owner of el erado restaurant let us try bananas just picked that day from her garden.  I  have never tasted a true banana I now realize.  Delicious!  After great chats with the owner we came back to the house for a swim.  We shared the pool with another family from Canada (vancouver) and they happened to have an 8 year old boy too.  Both boys compared notes on all the animals they had seen and then we were lucky enough to see a Jesus Christ lizard right by the pool.  Amazing to see these things run.

Heading out for dinner

This morning we awoke to the sound of howler monkeys close by.  Very eery sound.  Then while enjoying our morning coffee on the deck a flock (6-7) of toucans landed in the trees right beside our deck. 

Then it was off to the national park again where Reilly was able to rack up the following to his total animals seen: 5 sloths, 1 more toucan, 4 bats,  3 Jesus Christ lizards, 1 howler monkey, 2 parakeets, 2 vultures, 1 stork, 2 golden orb spiders, 1 red eyed tree frog, 1 giant crayfish,. Killer bee hives, iguanas, blue morpho butterfly and other butterflies, hummingbird in her nest and lots of unique plants and flowers.

Tonight we are off on a jungle night tour.  More on that tomorrow.
