The Zoo!!

  1. Flew into Belize; much anxiety regarding the return of rental car in Guatemala
  2. Went to the new Belize Zoo

  3. Slept
  4. Pond House cabin on stilts overlooking bird-filled pond; baby crocodiles!
     
  5. Delicious stew chicken for dinner
  6. Took the nocturnal tour; saw April the Tapir again (26 years old next month!)
     
  7. Howler monkeys, Junior the Jaguar, ocelot, puma, coatamundi, marguay, parrots, "honey bears", wild jungle pigs; held boa constrictor and anteater; really liked the harpy eagles and spectacled owls


    Above: a dessicated bat impaled on a jungle spike,
    and Audrey's impersonation thereof

  1. I remember April! I also just realized that "April" is almost an anagram for "tapir." I'm quite jealous of you guys. Make the most of it! (the most of your time, not my jealousy).
