Gumbalima Animal Park

What a difference a day makes. Yesterday we were some of the few travelers on the Rio Dulce in a motorized boat. Today on this amazingly beautiful Caribbean Island which claims tourism and agriculture as its sources of revenue, we visited a privately owned park featuring a beautiful beach, botanical gardens, aviary and a monkey rescue.

The up-close and personal photos at the Gumbalimba Preservation Park tell the whole story. The park has a website if you want to check it out:

Love the monkey!
I just love the monkey! What a great picture, sounds like you are having a great time. I saw about 8 people just outside your home today chatting away. It was not an open house, but it looked like something was going on. There were about three different cars, so maybe someone interested in your house! Don't worry they weren't thieves! You have probably been hearing about the home invasion robberies (2) and some other break-in's. But the police have really stepped up the patrols, so I think things will improve. Glad you are having such a great trip! Take care, Lindy
