OK. . . Maybe the style doesn't fit, but it has a better ring to it than Warhol or DaVinci of the Jungle, you have to admit. . . Kenneth (the younger fellow) works here at Tree Houses four days per week, and is a student during the rest of the time. He's also a pretty darn good artist. When we needed a new sign to point the way to the waterfall and pools, he came up with the design and painted it on a piece of wood.
With Kenneth is Miguel (who can build pretty much anything from wood just using a hand saw and a machete) and the Tree Houses pooch, Bejuca. Two weeks ago, Miguel was cutting brush at the neighbor's place, and heard a branch fall. He turned around, and about 50 meters away was a jaguar. He said that he stayed still and maintained eye contact with the feline for about five minutes. The jaguar came to within 15 to 20 meters of Miguel before getting a whiff of him, and then took off like a shot. If you ever come across a jaguar in the jungles of Costa Rica, you should remain still and calm and keep eye contact, just like Miguel. Personally, I probably would have set a record of some sorts for fastest short-distance sprint while screaming and wailing.
