Alright so since I don't have wifi at the sanctuary (it's been broken for 4 days now) I'll jut keep writing these blogs and post them whenever I can find Internet. So far this is the second unposted blog, so make sure you read all the new ones! The big news for today is that we had an earthquake last night at about 3:45 am. Pretty scary! My first time experiencing an earthquake. It woke us all up and we just sat up in bed wondering what to do, as our beds and the...

It has been a few days since my last post but the days are pretty much the same. Wake up at 6, start cleaning by 6 30, then hand out breakfast (carrots, sweet potatoes, mushy dog food, and some weird pear/apple thing, and sometimes mango but most sloths don't like the mango). The two toed sloths eat the veggies and the three toed sloths eat only leaves for all their meals. Done that by 8 so go have our own breakfast. They don't have much for breakfast here but we...

Another fabulous day in Costa Rica! I totally love it here, although I don't think I could ever live here full time. It's SO HOT. Once it hits noon I sweat out the Ying yang until about 7.

We had one big storm a couple nights ago and it rained a bit this morning before work. The storm was terrible because its so darn loud in this house because you ha...

Wow. What a day. One of the best days of my life! It started out at 6:45 am with a pick up from a shuttle bus which my hostel in San Jose helped me book. They took me directly to the sanctuary in about 2 hours and 45 mins. It cost about quadruple what you pay for a public bus but the public bus can take up to 9 hours to get there! On the drive I got to see more of the beauty of Costa Rica. Many mountains and valleys absolutely covered in trees and foliage. There ...

Hõla! Just arrived in San Jose, Costa Rica today and I'm already wishing I was fluent in Spanish. I'm making out ok but it sure would be a lot easier! When we landed it was pouring rain which was depressing, but by the time we exited the airport it had stopped. But my checked baggage was completely soaked.. I guess they let it sit outside! No electronics in there so I was fine. The airport was easy to navigate, quite small and there were English signs. My depart...
