Today is Friday and we booked a couple of excursions with Stefani's help in the office at Los Almendros. The light in my bathroom was replaced, and a man investigated the hot water heater, but has to return tomorrow with his tester. The leak under the sink will wait till some other day, but we have figured out that it doesn't cause a problem if there is no hydraulic head, so we just don't use the stopper nor fill the sink when we wash dishes. No problema.
This morning we lazed away nearly two hours sitting in a lovely big tide pool, watching spotted, yellow, and striped fish swim around us (or run into us to see if we were edible). A Great Kiskidee came down and perched on the rock next to us for a long time--I had no camera with me (thus the internet picture above), but he was a very pretty bird. We took a taxi to the town (young man does not believe in slow, even when passing slower cars which do not move over and it sure doesn't look like two vehicles can share the lane) and lunched at Los Milanes today. We enjoyed the "typica" meal, which was delicious, We walked back to the market, picked up some more supplies, and took a much slower taxi back to Los Almendros.
By now it was time to soak in the pool/tub on our patio and as we did a very large bird flew into the trees overhead. He kept the tree between us and him, so we never did make him out, but he was definitely big, much bigger than a pigeon, more large chicken sized:
The trees also hold a large insect (?) nest:
Tomorrow we take an excursion up the Rio de Tempisque--hope to see parrots and monkeys.
