A Little Bit Of Jungle...

_6 December ‘09 Sol dared me to post this picture of me, so here it is: (The header)

Our day started out with heavy rain that continued past noon, and then let up and left us with lots of clouds and heavy humidity for the rest of the day.  Sol and Carol headed off to a close by hotel that had free internet and we stayed back and “veged”.  At about 2, the pickup rolled up and Carol jumped out telling us that there was this “fantastic” river cruise that we should go on that leaves from a little village next door.

_This was a boat trip through the jungle

_to the fresh water spring at La Tovara.  We took a small boat that took us through the Estuario (Estuary) San Cristabol.  We went through thick jungle and mangroves to finish at La Tovara, the fresh spring water location where we (Sol and myself, would swim with the fish.

_Throughout the jungle and mangroves, we were able to see some birds

_that we’ve never seen before, crocodiles,

_turtles, termite nests

_and too many flowering plants for us to name.

_You just knew that you didn’t want to drop your hand into the water too long to enjoy the cool and refreshing feeling as there were the croc’s just sitting there waiting for their opportunity for a nice snack.  While on the boat, we did take a side trip to the Cocodrilar (crocodile nursery) were they had some amazing croc’s

_that they have taken from the waters that we have just gone through…  While on the boat, we only saw one that was a large male and several small female and young floating just under water or straddled on a floating branch.  When we arrived at the fresh water spring of La Tovara, Sol and I decided that it was time to hit the water…and that is what we did.  Hanging from a tree branch was a bar that would swing us out over the pond and drop us into the deepest part with a large splash.  It was just the four of us there, but the Carol and Louise held back.  With the humidity of the day and the special location of the pond, it just called for a dip.  Even the ride back through the mosquito infested jungle and us still wet, we ended the journey without a bite. Now that doesn’t say that the “no-see-um’s and mosquito’s didn’t find us back at the campground because they did, and I can still feel them 4 days later.
