Some little ants decided that they would like to come in and take up residence in our jar of sugar and the remaining sugar that was in the bag. They were busily scurrying around the doorway and on the floor in the kitchen. Once we realized the sugar was the attraction, it seems that removing the sugar bag was answer to the invasion. We are supposed to have some kind of natural " insecticide " placed within the house sometime today.
Meanwhile down at the office, Shannon, owner of the company that manages these homes had alittle present delivers to her by her dog. He had a baby hummingbird in his mouth and when she realized what he brought to her she managed to rescue it, and place it in a container with a type of wire bowl, with a soft cloth in the middle, surrounded by red hibiscus. The little bird was perched there this morning when we saw it. Shannon and some of the other staff, take turns placing it outside about every 20 minutes. Then mother of the little bird, comes to feed it! Sometimes Shannon waits until she hears the mama calling or sometimes if it is quiet around the office she puts it outside in the same place in the shade of her car. She has a video of the feeding- it is quite remarkable! We have pictures of the little bird which I will try to post.
Most of you have probably seen the picture of Kyle and I with the monkey on our shoulders,eating banana from our hand. It wasn't the thing to do, I know. and I wouldn't do it again. I took off my hat for the feeding and one of the monkeys came into the boat and took my hat onto shore and just left it the. I love my hat and was afraid it was going to end up Ina tree, but the guide jumped onto land and returned the hat to its rightful place.
Yesterday during a tour through theManuel Antonio National Park , we saw many fascinating things through our guide's binoculars . He placed our cameras against the lens and snapped some great pictures. Kyle put them on FB and Ernei shared them so you should be able to see them. The heat was incredible by about 10:00 when we had to walk back about 30 minutes. Kyle called it a death march! And it was.
We were able to find a nice restaurant to eat lunch with a great sea breeze to cool us down. There we were, 2 of us sipping on a mohito, when I felt something brush my arm. There was a green tree snake making its along the banister towards a tree and I just happened to be an obstacle in its path. I jumped right up, moving the fastest I've moved since I came to this warm place!
This morning Kyle did an adventure tour with a zip line and some rappelling and Tarzan swinging. This afternoon we eare njoying some air conditioning, but are leaving in few minutes for the community pool to swim and watch the macaws come in to roost for the night.
It all sounds like one great adventure after another..even the green tree snake.
