Pintando pintando...

Throughout the whole painting process, Maria kept drawing streaks of paint on me so eventually I just gave her a leg and let her go at it. Besides just patterns and whatnot, there is a turtle in the middle of my shin.

Yesterday a new volunteer arrived. She will only be here until maybe Tuesday. 6 foot Irish woman. Great accent. She had been volunteering with turtles on the Nicoya Peninsula for the past 3 months.

So my first tour is supposedly going to be on the 30th...


This is our newest little guy. Got him a few days ago and is doing well. When we got him, you could still see where the umbilical cord had fallen off recently. 300 grams upon arrival.

Beautiful mariposa.

A view from the veranda on the front of my cabina. The gulf is beyond the trees.

Toucan. Beautiful bird. This one is missing the shoulder joint in his right(?) wing due to being attacked by another toucan.
