Last Saturday I accompanied E to Curu again, a great place to see wildlife. It is a private reserve on the tip of the Nicoya peninsula (if you want to look it up).
We had a visitor for breakfast....a female spider monkey! She watched us eat, you could tell she was looking for a hand out. Later on in the afternoon I saw her steal a bag of chips from an unattended bag on the beach! But she was not agressive at all. E says it is because the animals in Curu have had so much exposure to humans that they are no longer afraid...later there was also a deer on the beach, weaving in and out of patches of shade and licking the salt (from the dry seawater) off eager hands of other folks on the beach.
I also ended up playing kickball with some locals...never knew that game was at all popular with the Ticos! You just never know...
Oh, I got a sunburn too.
More later!
Pura Vida
