Today Stephanie had arraigned for a guided four hour tour through part of Gandoca Manzanillo National Wildlife Refuge with Abel Bustamante Cerdas. We woke early and strolled the little town of about 300 until we found a nice soda to have breakfast. Sodas are the small mom and pop restaurants that can be found all over Costa Rica. Great day our four hour hike turned into over 6 hours. I can't even to begin to tell you all the birds we saw, Sloths snakes, spiders, BIG spiders, butterflies and bugs. Stephanie will have the sloth pics. Finished our hike having dinner with Abel, who was an outstanding guide. Then back to the tree house on the ground, dang I still explained that one, maybe on Day 3. We were able to down load our pics but that's about all the energy left for the day because we were in bed fast asleep shortly there after.
GREAT DAY. Thanks Abel for the tour
