Major agreements, holding Pip & Ubu's wee show
... me but actually giving it to a charity as all of it goes back into the sanctuary. According to an old newspaper it costs over $10,000 per month to run the sanctuary so mine isn't even going to cover half of one month. So yeah seriously need your help people!!!
Judy and I also talked about the Jaguar rescue centre that I was going to go to the day I leave. She's definitely put me off it, the people who run it probably have their heart in the right place but do ...

... one of the guys who cleans the cages, had kindly done it, score!
Definitely getting some favourites out of my lot, some of them always come to greet me and give me 'kisses' and some are just super cheeky and get right in your face. I am however majorly jealous of Yvettes section as she has all of the three fingered sloths who are wayyyy more cuddly/affectionate and you don't have to worry about them biting you ever. Which is ...
Cahuita
... had a couple more beers before retiring for the night.
We had seen signs advertising live music at the Reggae Bar on Friday Night and were looking forward to checking it out. We got up Friday morning and went back over to Brigittes for breakfast and more of their awesome coffee. We then went about a mile up the road through the rain in the opposite direction from Cahuita to the Tree of Life animal sanctuary.
