Happy Hannukah


I didn't include it in the last post, but Max the anteater died. He was by far one of the most adorable animals here and just loved to play. The thing about rescuing baby animals that in some cases they are alone because they were abandoned by their mother. It is possible the mother knew that the baby wasn't going to survive so she didn't waste precious energy on it. Who knows the reason for Max though.

I'm definitely glad I'm here in pura vida Costa Rica, but I am a bit sad that winter break is coming up and most everyone is going to be back home. So it goes. At least I have internet now. And I'll be home for summer and have plenty of time to see everyone.

I had checked the camera's a few days ago. Didn't get too much. Two cameras either took consecutively all they could hold or until the batteries died. Scrolling through the photos it is like time lapse photography. One camera caught a bird and something unidentifiable and another caught me. The others caught nothing really.


A huge cruise ship passed by yesterday morning. Apparently can hold about 1,500 people. Earl was saying that in reality they were breaking the law. They were within 2 kilometers of the median tide and that is in Piedras Blancas National Park. $10 per person. Good chunk of money for the Park. That is if they were ticketed. Not going to happen though.

Me and Joey the Kinkajou. Called Martilla in Spanish. It means hammer. These little 6 pound guys can rip open coconuts.

At the school in with Maria's friend and her two of her three daughters.
