We visited the Jaguar Rescue Center last week and had a lot of fun there! All the animals that are there are supposed to go back to nature, if they can. Some can’t, because they’ve been too injured or had too many contacts with humans, but most of them are going to go back. During our visit, we saw a little bit of everything: birds that had been shot in the wings or that lost an eye, an endangered white tail deer, an anteater that had grown up as someone’s pet, an ocelot that someone tried to take to Panama, a sloth …

T-shirts are still too hot, we have to wear tank tops or muscle shirts to survive the day. Pants are also a big no no, except if you want to faint in the heat. Shorts only. NEVER ever leave food outside. Even if it’s in a bag. NEVER! Because you’re gonna get a new friend that you might not like… (Ex: When a monkey wakes you up at 3 am because it’s breaking one of …
Perfect Beach
A 5 minute walk takes us to the beach. There’s nobody there, except for a few surfers that are 500m away. We really don’t have to worry about them. Though we haven’t seen the sun yet, the water is warm! Chris and I have a lot of fun in the waves, doing some body surfing to the shore. We haven’t died yet in the waves, so that’s great! On the part of the beach where we are, the sand is PERFECT! There’s absolutely no shells or rocks, it’s just fine sand. We went for a walk and a little bit …
