Hi all, I tried to get Will to do this update but no cigar (maybe next time). Since we last updated we went in search of howler monkeys and guess what we found them...we walked down a forest path and then Sam spotted them up in the trees, about 5 of them jumping from branch to branch. They are much smaller than I had imagined and very noisy, Sam was very excited.
Yesterday Sam and Will went in the sea as usual and I sat and had a coffee and chatted to the waiter who is Spanish for about an hour - my Spanish is definitely getting better! Then a couple of guys from the Good ol' US of A asked if they could join me, they were about 60 and drinking rum and cokes at 11:00 in the morning. It was brilliant they were like characters from a movie...'I haven't left the US since I gat back from Nam' said Wally, adjusting his cap and swigging his coke. I wanted to say, 'Really Wally? You were in Nam, what was it like in Nam?' but then I remembered that I wasn't in a movie so instead I said, 'Well it was jolly nice meeting you but I had better be off now' and left them to their rums.
Winging Willy has been super wingy today he has had a headache, a stomach ache, a sore toe... I think that's all... but really he does winge quite a bit (more than Sam).
We are staying in Tamarindo for a few more days now and then will head down to Santa Teresa on Tues or Weds for a few days... that's all there is to report today.
but do tell...!!! Who are the 'howling monkeys' surrounding Sam in the picture? He looks like he's having a really good time. I wonder if the rain has stopped. It's pouring down here and ruining the Ryder Cup Golf, which I was so looking forward to watching today. Ah well....I'm sure the rain will stop soon, and they will get to play. Meanwhile...keep on enjoying yourself, and don't get kidnapped by American Rum drinkers....(g)

ReplyDeleteSo pleased you have had a comment about Archie and that he is so well. I was only saying to Mum this morning that we should go down to Bristol to see how he is getting on. Will probably do that in November anyway.
