18:00 After breakfast I read some more then swept the path where I decided to do some more maintenance on it by removing more of the big rocks. I next discovered in the lab that a cook (Caballo) and Caballita had left more drawings for me. So this time I drew them and 'the family of Cabo Blanco' represented as animals including a bear with a hat, the sweet little daughter as a butterfly upon others - I hoped no offence was taken by any of the drawings.
At lunch we were interrupted (yes, while
at the staff bench now) by a Coati then a couple of Ctenosaurs, one of which
bit the neck of the other on the tree trunk with the hammock right behind us.
The head park guard I came in with on the quad bike yesterday asked me about
the dogs seen by themselves, and I told him that I see them pretty regularly
wandering into the park by themselves. I
then spoke to my brother and mum on the phone and a Ctenosaur fell out of the
tree in front of the window where I stood. The ladies laughed A LOT upon seeing
my drawing in the lab.

Then Caballita soon left for college and
despite people joking it was actually pretty sad to see her off. I also
entrusted her with my letter for my nan to post…
I then chased, hid and played about with
the daughter, deliberately and narrowly missing her with water, such a cheeky
and sweet kid. I did some more reading again, where the new park guard earned a
new name El Tigre (the tiger) after deciding to scare me again. I watched the sunset with the cooks and the
daughter.

Working in the lab tonight was not so
fun as the mosquitoes were out to bother me. After dinner I got to have some
Dos Piños strawberry ice cream for dessert which made a lovely change, then
called it an early night but during the night I hit the fan off the bedside table
and had a midnight snack for a change.
