Un buen dia (a good day)

We had an earlier-than-normal wakeup today, as a couple of aspiring musicians from Chicago had to check out early in order to make their flight home from San Jose. The weather was cool (in the 70s) with a touch of humidity. There is a great family staying here now (two generations from New Mexico and Massachussetts) and they were so excited to come down, they showed up for breakfast 15 minutes early. No worries, as we were already up. Then the family made the hike down to the waterfall and pools. They said they would be back in an hour or so; they returned three hours later after splashing in the waterfall pools and checking out the river. After they took off for lunch, a Kiwi family checked in, and within 20 minutes, they saw two mama sloths with babies and a few howler monkeys, courtesy of Keneth and his eagle eye.

It's great to meet and talk to folks from all over the U.S. and the rest of the world (as I've probably said before, 80 percent of our guests are from the U.S. and Canada and the other 20 percent from Europe) as it's really nice to hear how things are perceived and how things work outside of the States.

Finally, Lucy made an outstanding seven-layer dip (I helped on two of the layers) and we just relaxed and listened to the cicadas chirp outside the house.

A good day, indeed.
