Magic Monkey Jungle Hike; Dinner in El Avion

---

Geo: 9.45, -84.15

Went back into town and picked up the laundry and did some shopping and back to Nature Lovers. Decided to walk back to the Mirador. Fortunately at that time of day, most all of the trail is in the shade. Got to the Mirador and decided to see if the trail continued on trail we had seen. Nope, so backtracked and Robert found the trail that continued onward. It was a nice trail and mainly downhill.We came across a group of white faced monkeys that were drinking from the stream we were walking beside. Watched them from a while and then saw a group of titi that were moving through the trees very near the white faced and did not seem bothered by them but seemed very curious about us.Saw several beautiful moths along the way. One had an eyeball shape on the side of the wing. Came out across a suspension bridge into what looked like an abandoned resort where the zip line groups evidently end their zipping. This all was very close to the hospital and we stopped at the soda nearby and had an ice cream and a bottle of water. Walked back to Nature Lovers rather than waiting on the bus. Another adventure as the road was narrow, curvy and no real place to get out of the way of traffic

.Decided to go to El Avion for dinner because sun had already set and there would be no beautiful sunset views that evening. Both had a delicious salad with fresh tuna and had a nice visit with Chris and Jasmine from Canada before heading for home.
