A bit delayed, but as promised here are some pictures of Marco.

"Tengo hambre!"

Almuerzo

Que rico!

Woke up this morning feeling a bit off kilter. Came down to the kitchen and very quickly felt sick to my stomach. I went back up to my cabin and made it to the bathroom just in time to vomit. TMI? Well, I came back down and tried to eat a banana, but couldn't keep it down. I went back to my bed and laid down. Fell asleep for maybe an hour or so. When I woke up I felt better, but not great. Carol insisted I drink some Pedialyte. I did, but very slowly to be sure it stayed down. Afterwards I tried another banana. This time it stayed down, but still made my stomach cramp up. As the day has progressed I've felt better and better. Not great right now, but ambulatory and not terribly painful.

Gringo illness strikes again? Quien sabe...

Very much looking forward to Friday. My parents will be getting in on that day. I will go into town with David when he goes in for food and supplies. I have a flight out on NatureAir at 4:15. I fly into San Jose, Pavas. From there I am taking a taxi to our hotel, Casa 69. I was reading reviews on TripAdvisor and I'm very excited for this hotel. The owner, Kurt, seems like a fun and nice guy.

We had two 'volunteers' who arrived here yesterday afternoon. It was a mother and daughter. They only stayed one night and left today at around noon. People do not usually stay for only one night, but the mom is friends of a large donor. Politics.

Here is an aerial view of the beach out front of the sanctuary.

This is Pincho (one of the workers) and our two coatis (coatimundi, pisote).

This is Poppy. She is our 8 year-old spider monkey. Very exciting news. She is pregnant. We have suspected it, but a few days ago Carol saw her lactating a bit and she is definitely swelled up. I'm going to be very unhappy if I'm gone when she delivers.

I can't seem to make some of the pictures center in the page. I apologize for the loss of some aesthetic value.

Gracias a Santuario Silvestre de Osa por los fotos.
