Instead of staying in the town of Flores, we chose to stay at the Natural Park Ixpanpajaul. It is a park where people from Flores would visit for a day to hike, canopy tour, or ride horses. The best part about the park was that they let the horses run free throughout the park. They would graze next to our room or lay near the paths we would walk. Beautiful. We also enjoyed riding them through the park. There were also 4 resident donkeys that the boyz enjoyed playing with. Dan, Steve, Randy and the noisy one Joe. I am not sure where they come up with the names, but it helps keep them entertained.
The Howler monkeys were also a highlight of the park. The first time the boyz heard them they freaked out. The monkeys are amazingly loud for their size and produce a lion-like sound. Adam did not want to walk in the dark after that.
It wasn’t the monkeys that made me fear the dark…. JK
Love reading your blogs. Sounds like you are seeing and doing so many interesting things.
ReplyDeleteand yes I would be praying a whole lot to be protected from things such as this ginormous spider.
Safe travels and many blessings.
