Shar--back on a bike in Puerto Viejo!




We arrived in P.V. yesterday afternoon, got a place at Rolf's, and rented 2 bikes @ about $4/day each. Shar says she's not ready to take the 13K ride to Manzanillo, but she's getting around here just fine. Shar got to eat at El Loco Natural, our favorite restaurant, last night. We swam at Playa Negro today--there's a picture of Playa Negro with the town in the background.

We had some very sad news this afternoon: When we inquired about Toukie, our favorite bird (a rainbow-billed toucan who has resided at Rolf's our past 3 summer visits, we were told he died last Nov. It seems he choked on a bone he got out of the garbage. I'm sure the whole family must have been heartbroken because he was really quite a guy.

Shar snapped the close-up of the strawberry poison arrow frog a couple hours ago late this afternoon. I'd say it's actual size is about 3/4 of an inch long with it's legs stretched. Bye for now!
