Naturefest!

The last few days have been eventful!  We went on the night jungle walk on Wednesday with Emilio from Fincas Naturales.  It was truly amazing and the frogs were deafening.  We saw 9 different species of frogs (including Reilly's favorite the red eyed tree frog).  We also saw a snake, caimans, turtles, crocs and a kinkajou.  Many of the creatures we encountered are endangered so it felt very special.  Emilio was a terrific guide.





On the way to our night tour we spotted the endangered squirrel monkeys (mono titi), white faced capuchin and were very close to some howlers although we couldn't see them.  My parents who stayed back at the house saw a whole troop that night!  A very rare occurrence.  They howled outside our house until dark and then were there again in the morning.  It was a great sound to wake up too.


It was seriously a wildlife packed day!
