Jaida and I went on the "Kids Saving the Rainforest" tour today. It is an organization that was started by 2 tweens to raise money to be donated to land conservation projects and animal rescue and rehabilitation projects. We went to one of their animal rescue centers and saw many marmosets (1 pound monkeys that look just like gremlins), spider monkeys and racoons. The tour was led by the veteranarian - Maria Pia, who told us all about how they help the animals and the importance of not feeding monkeys and deer (like they do at our hotel!) Jaida was able to make a few postcards that will be sold at the store and proceeds help the cause.
Dr Pia also let us pick and eat quava, granadilla, limes from their organic gardens. We forgot to pick and eat the sugar cane.
Later we swam at the pool at sunset and saw a few bats flying above us. While we were at the restaurant their awesome spaghetti dinner night, a mamoth grasshopper flew into my hair and then was jumping/flying around the kitchen for about 1/2 an hour.
