Bill had moved the boat to Golfito the week Alice flew home in March. Finally, on April 7, she returned via a rental car and three flights! Needless to say, she was dog-tired and slept a LOT the first few days. Needless to say, Bill was just happy to have her home! The area here truly is rainforest and there has been enough rain to prove it~ it is still the dry season, they say... We have met many nice people, mostly landlubbers and mostly Americans. Our friends Paddy and Ray have lived here since 1994, so they know a LOT of people. We have been to a party on the Isla de Golfito across from their home, and to several homes on the mainland where we have seen everything from toucans to crocodiles to orchids and waterfalls. We had hoped to meet a troop of 50 monkeys one afternoon, but they stood us up! The fruit is ripe in the forest, so they don't need the human handouts right now... We have been shopping more than once and Alice's feet are tired from the cobblestone sidewalks. A new pair of sandals is in order. We will make a short day trip to the Panama border this week and then will decide when we pull out for Panama on Grey Wolf. The above photos show our afternoon on the island at Larry's lovely palapa home!
