7:35 – Feeling empathy with a Fellow traveler as we both wait for the birds to arrive.

12:15- “Left on my own, just up from a nap, Nothing left to do, Except take a crap.”

4:25 – Look up! Monkey alert!

4:30 – Maybe he shouldn’t have been standing there. The chances? Monkey poop on the hand! Classic!!!
