We are at Shelter Bay Marina in Colon. We took a walk on a trail to see wild life. We really had a treat. Here I saw my first monkey! I was so pleased to finally see them. We all got up at 6 am and took our walk. We saw at lease 50 monkeys in the trees above us jumping from tree to tree. They were very active and put on quite a show for us. Below is a description of a Capuchin Monkey.
Agile and lean, capuchin monkeys weigh only 3 - 9 pounds. The fur of the capuchin monkey varies, but is most commonly seen with cream or light tan coloring around the face, neck and shoulders. The rest of its coat is dark brown. The hair is shorter and darker on the capuchin's back than on other parts of its body. The face of this cute monkey will range from white to pink in color. The tail is long, covered in hair and is partially able to wrap around branches.
On this trail there were very colorful birds. Here is a photo of one.
After ten years of planning a trip around the world, we have given up our life on land to head to bluer pastures with the hopes of staying young as long as possible. Our mission is to have fun while moving about the earth. [...]When we finally return to dry land for good, we hope to have seen most of the worlds shore line and experienced things that can only be experienced at 5 knots Of course if we find a place we like and stay there for an extended time, that's ok too.
We have two boys and two grandson's and several friends and family of all ages. Our hope is that those we know will decide to spend some time with us. Life is enjoyed most when you share it with those your closest to.
