No special tours today - just a relaxing day at the beach. We walked to breakfast at a local coffee cafe. There isn't much shopping opportunity close by but we browsed a few stores on our way home.
Then - back to the private beach here at Tulemar. It's embarrassing to admit how content Roger and I are just relaxing in a lounge chair! The girls, and especially Kyle, love this beach because of the great waves for boogie boarding but, once the tide rolls in they are too big and strong! Emily caught a great wave and it took her all the way up the beach to a lady's lounge chair - " oh, hello!"
We are so spoiled - we ordered lunch, had it delivered to the beach, ate at a table in the shade and played cards while the girls just played in the surf!
The news of the day - a boa constrictor in a tree near the resort pool! We haven't seen it yet. Megan doesn't want to be anywhere near it!! Our shuttle driver after dinner told us that guests called the front desk saying there was a snake in their villa! Hope it wasn't the boa!
There are a group of volunteers here at Tulemar that study the sloths and document their behavior. Since the sloths are nocturnal they work all night. They walk around with coal miner type lights, red so as not to scare the sloths. Seems like a very boring task to all of us but they are interesting to talk with. Sloths don't drink - they get their liquids from the leaves they eat. And they come to the ground about once a week to excrete their waste - about 1/3 to 1/2 of their body weight!
Wouldn't it be great to be able to eat all you wanted and then once a week get rid of half the weight you gained!!!
One more day and then this idyllic vacation ends!
