Welcoming us to our three hour hike in the Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve was a harem of White-lined bats. Fortunately, I am fascinated by these remarkable creatures as they are quite common in Costa Rica. Apparently, I can get fascinated by a lot of things when I have my camera in hand because shortly after trying to capture a band of about 40 coti (like raccoons, but cuter) with the go-pro we realized we weren't quite sure we were still on the trail. I went into survival mode and made your dad fill up his water bottle from the stream and wouldn't let him open his beer nuts in case we needed them for rations. Perhaps I over-reacted. We retraced our steps--we made it out alive. We continue our quest to eat local. Yesterday, after walking out to Cabuya Island, which can only be reached on foot during low tide, we bought delicious mango and pineapple preserves from a home along the road. Today we bought fish directly from the fisherman that hangs out near the beach in Cabuya . We have no idea what kind of fish it is, but it is a good thing it cooked up so tasty because we ended up buying a kilogram--our Spanish still needs some work! Our host exclaimed that we are like children--we want to try everything. We are taking that as a challenge. Psalm 118:24 This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it. You are always in my prayers. Love Mom
