Jay is working with his boots as he is about to go on a hike up the hill at Punta Valiente. The next photo is the local boy who served as a guide for the group on this particular trip. We try to engage a different guide each time so that we learn something new and the entire village benefits from our visits.

Here is a photo Jim grabbed of Mel while he was kayaking near the Changuinola River towards the end of their trip. We had a wonderful time this day as we do every day.

This little girl insisted on wearing our guest's hat and sunglasses. And well - she looks pretty good.

Corin as I described in the last post - was really into snakes. He and his family went fishing with Jim one day when another group was going to Punta Valiente. Corin was really bummed because he wanted to go over to the mainland where he could be looking for some serious snakes. Jay knew how important the snake hunting was to Corin and being a snake enthusiast himself, he brought back an eyelash viper for Corin to see. The snake was treated cautiously and carefully. He was removed from his mayonnaise jar home only for a few photos and then he was returned several days later to Punta Valiente with the next group.

Here are a couple of pictures of the green and black Dendrobates we see on the mainland at Green Acres Farm which is the home of Cerutti and Family Chocolate.




David has the frog on his finger to give you an idea of its size.



Here is a close up of the little guy in his natural environment.
