More visitors, Brian and Nancy

More visitors from Boulder, the Sperrys. Brian and Nancy met us in Golfito in their rental car and we spent a few days in Golfo Dulce, on Batwing, visiting the furthest north reef for morning fishing and swimming then ended up trying to find the animal rescue place, failing that, found the Orchid Gardens that are only accessible by boat. We survived a rain storm and made it back to the anchorage in Golfito intact. Next on our agenda was a trip to the Osa penensula, the most desolate part of Costa Rica where we found many Coti and Scarlet Macaws. Next we headed to the Chirripo area to a lovely animal sanctuary sloths and birds, and after a trip to teh cloud reserve Chirripo, said goodbye to Nancy and Brian. It was again too short a visit but lots of fun!

Visitors, Kathy and Julie

March in Western Panama brought us our first guests from Boulder Colorado. Kathy and Julie who managed to find us in out of the way Boca Chica, with a little help from a blog entry and other internet sites. Yay for the internet! They joined us at Frank's for dinner and then we headed out to the islands to enjoy Paradita and Gamez for a few days. After returning to Boca Chica, we found the tribe of Howler monkeys and had a great time snapping pics. Later we hopped into a bus and went to Boquette in the mountains for a taste of altitude and cooler climate. Although it was altogether a too short visit, we had a blast!
