Monkey business

So we have been here a week! Not sure the Spanish is that impressive yet but definitely making progress. Apart from study we've been leading the quiet life. But Bocas doesn't really do quiet!
Friday night the dogs (Sassy y Samba) spent the night howling at the full moon! Then the storms arrived, never experienced anything like it - thunder like a bomb under the house and rain like a swimming pool emptying on to your roof. Crazy crazy crazy.

And then the monkeys arrived!! We have had a whole troop of howler monkeys visiting for the weekend. It's been hilarious and meant we've spent far too long just sitting watching them. They too seem to be signed up for the 'let's keep it noisy in Bocas' plan and make the most bonkers growling, grunty, howling noises.



So we've enjoyed really feeling like we're out in the wild, and have ventured out on our bikes to explore some wild and gorgeous beaches and scenery.

Here are some photos of the sea/ our ride to work (for you Karl), and our rather exotic little cabana.
