is the slowest sine the early 90s. so.
Planes awesome. Taxis/buses bad (flat tire and missing the entrance to Aviarios and going all the way into Cahuita).
My day: work starts at 6AM, mucking out the 70 some cages in the back and feeding breakfast-green beans and watercress (vainica y berros). Then breakfast, then taking the babies (15 or so in all) out for exercise and to use the bathroom (the base of a tree). Then playing with Amanda, the one legged kinkachoo, and Fivela, the woolly opossum, or else giving tours to tourists, until 11:30, at which point it's time to chop veggies (carrots, sweet potato, and mango) for the cages, then lunch, then more tours/taking the babies out for afternoon potty if they need it, until 2, when its feeding time for the adults. Feed them all, and then we're pretty much done. Bedtime tends to be around 10, just after Futurama and The Simpsons. Nights out in Cahuita as well (hooray for drunkeness in Spanish), and odd jobs. I've agreed to paint new signs for the sanctuary, as the old one is a bit shite. Also working on a kids book and writing a lot in general, as well as reading somewhat less than I'd like.
There's more, but the half hour is up at the internet cafe. Anyways, you've got an idea. We'll see if the internet is any faster anywhere, at any point, ever.
Love
Brian

Thanks for the post and welcome to the 1980s version of the internet! Sounds like you're getting up close and personal with the animals ... cured any interest in being a zookeeper yet? By the way, after a couple of beers do you slur your Spanish with an American or Scots accent? Hope you're enjoying the time!
Good to see your post, Bri. Looks like you're getting your fill of sloths, something I might have thought impossible. A children's book, huh? Your initiative, or Judy's? Either way, it's fun! Say hello to Judy and Luis for us, will you?
Good practice for life - mucking out the cages.......:-)
