Jungle Janie's Raw Vegan Blogspot

I'm sitting in an Internet Cafe looking at the sunset out the window while typing this. We went on a fabulous hike today, through and along a river, then on a dirt road through jungle and a bamboo forest. Earlier today I went on a hike where we saw monkeys and two of them had babies with them. The babies rode on their backs and then would climb around on their own when they stopped. Some of them were hanging upside down and eating. Cool to see them jumping from tree to tree. I'll try to catch up on these posts as I can. They're closing now so I've gotta' go. Adios and Aloha!

Just adding in here from Costa Rica that I made it to the beach with my hubby today for a while, which was really nice. I took another video with my cell phone of the beach too.

K, bye for now!

Well, I didn't get a chance to update this post and several others before leaving for Costa Rica, so I'm just putting it up now as-is.
