Day Seven - Weather, Scenery, and some Sports Action

The breakfast area is set right into the rain forest, so you can see a lot of activity while you eat. During my typical rice and beans, eggs, and fruit meal, I had a couple visitors. Some white-faced monkeys got a little curious and climbed down from the trees and started playing around overhead. They flipped around on the various beams and poles and seemed to be having a good time. As others noticed and gathered, they got a little nervous and started to edge back into the jungle.

I went for an early walk out to the beach and discovered that I was alone out there. I took advantage and walked all along the coast for about two hours, getting rather burned in the process.

After lunch, I ran into some rather loud and colorful McCaws flying overhead. They were moving rather quickly, so I couldn't get a good shot. I managed a somewhat blurry capture (below). I went and played volleyball for a couple hours and then went for dinner. I finished the night drinking Corona on the beach, watching the sun go down.
