Jun 17 - First Hike and Find Something Special

After arriving, we went for our first outing, looking for sloths. One of the things you learn early, is that although you go looking for one thing, you may not find it, and you can't get so focused on your goal that you miss other wonderful opportunities.  

We saw a sloth rather early in are trip, but it was hard to get a decent picture or see details, because of where he was. In the meantime, we saw lots of other animals. 

Later, we did see another sloth. This time we hit the jackpot. Not only was he easy to see, but he was moving around & eating - in my limited experience, both are rare to see (They are lazy bums; no actually I believe it's that they need so much energy to digest their food that gives them little energy for other things.  I'll have to check on this.)
