Meet Lucas. He's a thief who loves shiny things. After a breakfast this morning of fresh fruit, baked breads, and Costa Rican coffee, we headed back to our room to get ready for a day in sun and surf. But, wait! Along the way we met Lucas and his family of 3 other howler monkeys that live here at Capitan Suizo. This place is a menagerie of monkeys, iguanas, raccoon that come out at night, a friendly porcupine, multiple cats, and orphaned dogs, along with birds we've never seen before and a strange lizard that lives in a hole in the ground next to the pool. I've learned that you can't go anywhere without a camera or you'll miss that perfect moment. Like the jay bird that swooped down to grab a piece of pineapple from a guests plate at breakfast or the older brother of Lucas that I caught taking a nap on the lounge chair outside our room. That same monkey took a liking to me later and jumped up to grab my earring and make off with it! The animals are certainly keeping us entertained here.
Tomorrow will bring new adventures. Stay tuned.
These animals look so cute and interesting! I can't imagine how crazy it must be to have a monkey try and snatch my earring! Are you two going snorkeling? I am really regretting not going along :( I want to see more animal pictures!
