I accidentally ordered vegan ice cream today. I’ve really been wanting some ice cream, so after lunch, I found a little shop that said “homemade ice cream.” I didn’t notice until after I ordered that it also said “vegan.” I’m not sure what’s in vegan ice cream. It wasn’t bad. It had a good chocolate …

Agouti
So I had a series of small mishaps today. Nothing serious, just some minor annoyances. It poured here last night. Apparently there is a leak in my roof because I woke up at some point with water dripping on me. The leak must not be really serious because it didn’t last long, but it kept …
User Error with the Animal Cam!
Short post tonight, mostly to explain why I’m not posting interesting animal cam pictures. Apparently, I badly positioned the camera yesterday so it did not take pictures of whatever animals ate the cat food I put out yesterday. I repositioned the camera three times this morning and I think I have the problem fixed. I …
Animal Cam
I had a fairly eventful morning. Brandon let me borrow one of his wildlife cameras so I can see what kind of wildlife lives in this area. My landlady was really excited about the idea of setting up a camera and sent me seven emails about animals that I might see. Her apartments are surrounded …
Costa Rica 2021
Hello All! I’m in Samara, Costa Rica for the next couple of weeks, so I thought I’d do a few updates. This trip won’t be quite as interesting as some of my others because Covid limits what I can do. Bill also could’t come this time, so you only get updates from me. I rented …
Made it Home!

Last Full Day in the Caribbean Netherlands
This morning we had a nice tour of the mangroves and snorkeled in them as well. I am still not a good kayaker, I prefer my canoe. I can’t paddle a kayak straight to save my life. Interesting tidbit of information I learned today, the mangroves are tsunami 🌊 buffers. They also house a lot of …

Mangrove Kayaking
Today was our kayaking and snorkel trip. Once again, it was fun. Snorkeling in the mangroves was my favorite part. The mangroves provide a nursery for baby fish and other marine animals. The mangrove trees provide shelter for the baby fish and they add some fresh water, so mangrove water is brackish. The water is …
Saturday in the Caribbean
It’s actually sprinkled a couple times today, it feels very light. We went snorkeling by Kline Bonaire which means little Bonaire. The boat ride was slow going out and coming back. I’m not sure if they were just trying to make it last the 3 hours advertised or what. The reef at Kline Bonaire was …
Snorkel Trip
We did our snorkel tour today at Klein Bonaire. It was beautiful! The beaches are white sand. The water starts out clear with the white sand reflected underneath, then it turns a bright, electric blue color then a darker blue as the water gets deeper. As you sail away from the island, there’s an incredible …
