Whewhooooo...we slept in today!  The wake up knock was supposed to be at 445am to head to the clay lick to see the macaws, but it was pouring rain which meant the birds wouldn't bother (smart birds).   While it would have been great to see them, sleeping in was not a bad thing either.  

At breakfast, Oscar advised that he was turning Katelyn and I over to Jesus for the day.  That way he and Ashley could do some power bird watching!  While Jesus seemed nice enough, Katelyn and I decided to forego another two hour hike and hang at the lodge for some more sleep and reading.   And that is what we did for the rest of the day.  No hikes, just hanging enjoying the sounds of the rain forest, sleeping, lunch and reading.  Ashley spent most of the day out birdwatching and is up to 130 of her goal to see 150 species.  She is loving it. 

Right before lunch, we did get a visit from the Chico's, the resident macaw family that comes looking for lunch.  They were checking out the kitchen and then came looking for anything we might want to share (bananas and apples).  They sat on our shoulders, so we got some great pictures! 

One of the highlights of the trip is all the wonderful people we have met.  Last night we met Art and Sharon from NYC who told me about their trip to Antarctica (the sea sickness would do me in), then also spent the past two days with Patrick/Wilma from Sonoma, and Kyle/Erica from Toronto.
