What is this?
I have a push button on one of the trees at my guest house.
I saw the security patrol push it. I think it is something that proves that they actually made their rounds out to this location.
Funny thing is - I don't see it connected to anything. Maybe it ...
Trip into the city to shop
... Didn't buy any copies of copyrighted movies. But those that are in the theater now are on DVD within days. And they only cost between $1-2.
Did get a photo of 4 people on a scooter, although it is fuzzy. Didn't see any 5's on this trip yet.
Had a late lunch at one of the hotels - had a change of pace on the food as well.

But the payoff - they had real pizza delivered. Much better than the food I was getting to eat.

So far removed that even the monkeys don't seem to want to come all the way out here.
Monkeys shown are near the other houses closer in to the main part of camp.
