Living in Cahuita at times my frustration is with the wildlife. It consumes and becomes overwhelming at times. It literally has become Animal Planet gone crazy here the past few weeks.
One morning, I reached down to grab my backpack and out popped a poisonous dart frog... where did that come from?? It than became a game how to get him out. Luckily he was a good sport and hopped his way back on out. I was afraid if I left him in the cabina he would die.
The other day a bat flew through the house/work place. When I say flew, I mean landed on Jorge's head. I stood up to see what the commotion was about as the bat came flying my way. He kept landing on the ground struggling to get in the air. The real bats actually look like the fake ones that we see for Halloween. Literally like that rubbery material!
While playing cards with Scott and Sam a huge green cicada came wondering in. They were all in awe with it, it was a really big and I would of preferred looking at it on the outside of my cabina.
Another night playing cards with Sam, Glenn and Rebecca a huge and I mean huge beetle came flying in. It was like that big beetle from that cartoon movie ants I want to say. I screamed... twice because it flew at me twice.
I had to drown a spider and make it go down the drain... Long process but finally went down.
The other day, I was reopening at 3 and right beside me were two gecko's were in the process of making baby gecko's... Sometimes I can't help but wonder why am I seeing this...
Than that night a huge bug with huge antennas came flying in at all of us.. All of us girls were screaming and Alonso was the only one fascinated by the entire situation.
While sitting at work and reading during the closed portion of the day I heard a rustle behind me, I didn't think anything of it until Nona screamed and pointed, "Oh my gosh a squirrel!" A squirrel just freaking out behind me no big deal!!
Than in bed reading, a cockroach decided it would join me! I looked down when I saw movement and of course screamed and jumped! It flew and it was a big whole ordeal! Lots of screaming involved. I was not happy that night with the cockroaches, I even went after a few with the broom. Normally I let them go about their business and I go about mine, but NOT if they get into my bed... that is a big no no.... That is supposed to be my safety zone!!
Soo needless to say sometimes the animals/insects what have you can be a bit distressing.... Even though making for great stories and funny situations later on.
