17:00 …before
breakfast this morning. I was surprised
that nearly all what DL told me went in at that hour but she is the best
teacher I have ever met. At least we
didn’t have the interruptions of yesterday and she gave me a new staff t-shirt
for my efforts. Still no Wild Pig seen about
the area on a side note.
As breakfast
died down so did I, I rested and took a shower leaving not much time until
everyone left. I did some laundry again
when the Canadian guy appeared again with another volunteer. After a brief catch-up I tentatively got my
hair cut by the cooks, an experience that was more interesting for them I think
but they did a good job.
The park
guards went to La Montana (mountain) peak (a place I am yet to go) which is
when ICE interrupted and I helped them out with checking the park electrics
out. I saw a Forest Falcon and some
Howler Monkeys, which made me think could I ever get/be bored here? The answer
I decided on would always be a resounding 'No!' Just listen to the Howlers calling:

The cook left and after a chat she invited me to her house sometime in the near future.
This evening I
removed a Harlequin Crab from the labs, found another carrying eggs, prepared
"fish traps" (bottles), before watching a film (the Town) and
relaxing. After the movie I spent some
time alone on the beach under the full moon pondering as bats circled above my
head and flew by the moon, night sky and light on the waters surface. I actually felt a little sad, odd to miss
people - friends back home, mainly in having someone staying here with me on a
more permanent basis. One of the park
guards deliberately made me jump by whacking his machete against the wall.
