Another post from mi hermana...
You will all be glad to hear that I am no longer walking like a cowboy. While I can still feel the effects of our horseback ride, I am back to walking like a normal person. I added insult to injury by taking a difficult yoga class yesterday morning with Sarah. In the middle of class the pavilion where the class is was overtaken by a surge of army ants. They were going from pillar to pillar, covering the pillows and mats. It was insane. It was the most distracting thin until the monkeys started in. ( The same monkeys who have been waking me up EVERY morning at 4 or so hooting and screaming on the hill. It is a terrifying noise that I am sure I will oddly miss.) The adventurous class ended with a scorpion in my shoe. I will post a picture of the yoga studio so you all can see how incredible it is!
Last night we went to La Garta Lodge. It is a hotel/restaurant located up in the hills with an amazing view of the ocean and river. There were lots of inebriated travelers there who wanted to kidnap baby Kemper. But really who could blame them? We had some cocktails and watched the sunset.
Today we started some paintings at the house -- a remedy to Erik and Sarah’s minimalistic décor. Mom packed stretchers and canvas in her suitcase and we got some house paint at the hardware store. (this family can’t vacation without a project) There were some guys there fixing the screens on the house and they stopped working mid day to give us a treat. They brought coconuts from their home and chopped them open and showed us how to eat them and drink the juice. When has your plumber in America has stopped his work to teach you something and give you a treat? It was so kind and delicious.
We then went to the local waterfall. On our hike in Mom would like me to tell you we heard a growl that she swears was a panther. Or wait, was it a puma? I think it was a monkey, but I’ll let her think it was something fierce. The waterfall was gorgeous and jungely and you will be happy to know that I didn’t climb it OR fall from it! J It was my first waterfall since my big fall, and I appreciated its beauty from afar.
Now we go home to eat fish and watch a movie. The days here start early and strong to where I am tried as hell by 8. It is a good way to live. Our time here is running out.
……..More soon because there is another adventure in the morning! -amy
