a little jungle walk...

take a little walk, he said...

a little jungle walk...

a fruit the monkeys eat, not edible for us...

15 minutes up the road, he said...

hot and sweaty after about a half hour...

to see the Howler monkeys... those little monkeys that make the huge howling sound...  at dusk and dawn...

really?! a "little" jungle "walk"?

so up we went... through the hot, sweaty jungle... and up the muddy creek... boots full of water, slipping in the mud...

oh yes! the views were spectacular!  the bugs were buggy! the sweat was sweaty...

and down through a cow field, with a big bull looking us over...

and there it was... one monkey...

one small monkey in big ol' tree... not howling... just wondering what these gringos were looking at, standing in that cow field, sweating like crazy...

the survivors.... heading back to the church... glad to have made it out of the jungle... alive. (some parts of this tale MAY have been slightly dramatized but all of it's true!!).  May God grant you adventures in your own neck of the woods...  love, Shari
