Day 7

July 2 started very peaceful - birds calling and a clear sky - sitting on the patio looking at the spectacular world

Saturday morning is the "Gentlemen's Breakfast" at the Riverside Diner - 8:00 am for coffee, eggs, bacon, toast, potatoes and more gossip (a regular pastime!).  Good food and good guys.  The talk was all about the police meeting about community safety - we have a new "Jefe" (Police Chief) who wants to understand the community and security issues - bridges and water (trees have fallen in the river - could take out the bridge if we get a good rain, so they need to be removed) and general comings and goings in town.

Just as we were getting ready to go for breakfast, there was a rustling in the trees - Spider monkeys!  We counted 6 and a very small baby.  They moved through the ravine slowly, climbing up the trees, swinging about and relaxing in the sun.  Very exciting for us newbies!!




Off to do some sweeping, a swim and a nap - it might just be sunny all day!!
