Howlers a howling...

A little clip I took out on our back deck. You cannot actually see the monkeys yet, they are making their way to our hill, but thought you might like to hear their howl. It can be very loud. I would say they are this close about every 3/4 weeks. It's always fun to watch them.

BESO and a new library sign

So here I am finally updating our blog. Sorry to those of you who check this and find no updates for weeks. I used to hate it when friends would give me their blog address and then never update it, now I've become one of those people..ahhhh! Sometimes using facebook is so quick and easy that I opt for that over this. BUT aside from all that, I do have some new photos to share.

Stan, myself and our friend Susan, with the backing of BESO (Bocas Educational Service Organization - this is a non profit I joined) worked together with some of the local school kids to create a new library sign for the Bocas library. This was included with new computers and AC as well. Our part was to outline the text and the tropical border and pick up supplies for painting, then assist the kids with the painting. It was a lot of fun for us and I think for the kids too. I should also add that the Buena Vista sponsored the lunch for the kids and from what I could they enjoyed it VERY much! A very special thanks to Susan for organizing all of it and keeping us all on track, it was Susan's idea and I think it was a great one!
