Change of plans...

Well, I ALMOST made it to Panama yesterday... but not quite. Instead, my travel plans have changed, and I am volunteering at a sloth sanctuary near Cahuita where we did the snorkelling. I was lucky enough to spot on their website that they take volunteers, and had a sudden change of heart and thought "damn, I really want to be doing this!". And so after a bit of miscommunication (long story, not interesting) Jono and I went our separate ways- me to the sanctuary to learn to care for sloths, and he to Bocas del Torro in Panama to surf. We'll meet back up for our boat trip to Colombia on the 14th to sail on the 15th.

But in the meantime, I'm going to be writing about my experiences here at Aviarios Sloth Sanctuary. My first day was pretty short, I arrived at 12 and by this time more than half of the work has been done. But I did get to see one of the most amazing things ever- the baby sloths being fed!












I am in love with these guys, especially Shiloh, the teeny one, and Rollo, the one in the last few pictures. Hopefully tomorrow we will take them out to play on their jungle gym- so excited! Will post more soon!
