| The calls of these large birds notified us that they were in the vicinity. We found them on a branch of a tree below the neighboring house. | Here is a close up of the toucan. | Brigitte and Nikki | The road in front of Villas Escalaras taken as we returned from our first siting of Toucans.

| On the road to Dominical | Nikki and Brigitte walking along the beach. There were surfers in droves, but we chose to stay out of the water. | This colorful crab was dead, but still photogenic | This place really caught our imagination. It was a bar, restaurant, post office and they offered laundry service as well! |

| The road north of Dominical was under water in places. | But south of town it was in beautiful condition, most of the way. | This was the first time we saw howler monkeys in the trees. We got Debra's spotting scope and took a closer look. |
