The next day was Sunday and we decided to take our time getting up. After I woke them we made plans to go in to the National Park for the afternoon. I spent sometime laying out in the sand and they spent a lot of time swimming. The waves weren’t exactly settling very well with me, so I enjoyed my time reading Anne Frank.
Matt discovered his love for crabs this day. Matt would make a smartass comment about most creatures which would lead Alex into a ten minute explanation of that creatures particular lifestyle, if they had enemies, why they did things a certain way (it was quite entertaining). In the end Matt enjoyed having Steve Irwin along on the trip.
We also played a game that day called “which hole with the crab enter.” Matt had been following the crabs around for a while, when he goes “why wouldn’t that crab just go into the closest hole?” and I added “I think they have their own hole and must know which hole that is.” To which Matt responded “your theory is stupid, lets do an experiment to prove you wrong.” The experiment didn’t really leave us any answers but we do think they each have their own holes. It was quite an entertaining experience.
We proceeded to walk around in the park for a bit attempting to spot monkeys. We ended up seeing a large amount of leaf cutter ants, which at the beginning of the day were pointless to Matt. By the end of the walk out Matt would yell “guys ants, look out for the ants.”
That night we ate at Sobre Las Olas, a restaurant near my house that Mother and I have been wanting to go to for the past almost 2 and a half months now. I am glad I had not gone before they got here, because the food was so incredible I would be broke all the time. We decided that the french-fries they make were some of the best we had ever had!!
