los animales!

So one really cool thing about Costa Rica is all of the animals frolicking around...as well as their utter disregard for human activities and boundaries.

At the Monteverde Cheese factory, we met a dog who proceeded to lead us back on a fifteen minute walk to our hotel. At one point the dog had gone ahead, and we proceeded to take a short cut. When we got to the end of the path and back onto the main road, our canine companion was there waiting for us, as if to say, what took you guys so long? Once we got back to the Trapp Family Lodge, he stationed himself right outside the door, guarding us from all comers.

There was also another, smaller dog who chased after one of our lumbering, luggage laden buses, a number of humped cows outside of the barbed wire, watching us on the roadside, a dog who nonchalantly ran tripped through us, while we were singing in our first concert in Monteverde, and then my favorite interaction with the Costa Rican fauna (besides the mating sloths) occured today. While we were eating breakfast a parrot and a cat decided to join us. They were walking around the floor like they owned the place and were perfectly at ease hopping through the obstacle course of chairs and tables to twitter and meow at us.

have to go to rehearsal now, bye!

please ignore all misspellings!
