Everything about this place is beautiful and the best part is it never gets old! This is now the third day in a row I have woken up at 5:30am and had to be ready for a days work by 6 and I have yet to find it hard to get up and go. Even though don't have an alarm clock it is easy to determine the time to wake up because like clock-work, the howler monkeys are out and howling at 5:20 every morning.
Its exciting to get up with the rain forest, you never know what you'll see though out the day and that is why I'm always sure to have the camera ready to fire. It is an amazing feeling of integration when the animals and birds allow you to see them in action. Although it has already happened many times, whenever the monkeys cross over head or a bird lands just in site it is an exciting experience. Everyday is different and everyday is an adventure. Two days ago we walked right under a pack of spider monkey and the day before that a pack of white faced monkeys. Today we were ambushed from a bird throwing fruit down on the trail. You just never know what will happen on the trails of Carara. We have only been here eight days and i can see now that we have only begun to scratch the surface of the amazing life of the rain forest.
The only Cararian animal that is not an experience to see are the flies that have decided to call our deck, home. Although i don't really blame the flies, as we have our laundry out and our smelly shoes on the deck along with our sweaty, and stinky selves out on the deck, i find it really annoying that they NEVER go away. Why can't the flies be more like the monkeys and just pass over head and disappear into the jungle?
