Fixing to get on the boat for a cruise down the river to look for
stuff. Went to bed early last night because we were so tired, but the
howler monkeys started up around 3am. Man they are really loud, more
like howler roosters. Then they started throwing acorns on the roof or
something. They finally stopped and I got a good night's rest.
6:30p What a great day we had. Saw lots of different species of birds, reptiles large and small, and monkeys. In between the 2 boat trips Jan and I took a water taxi to town and walked up the beach to look for my first Costa Rica geocache. Found it! Dinner is about to start. They're feeding us 3 meals and 2 snacks a day. Never even have time to get hungry. Leaving in the morning for the next stop.
