This morning, I woke up at 5:30am and met Fernando at 6am at the lodge to go birdwatching before breakfast. I enjoyed getting an early start to the day and also noticing how active and loud the birds were doing that time.
After breakfast, Erin, I, the Canadian could, and Fernando rode to a lake to look out for pink dolphins. Along the way, Erin and I were having great conversation about human nature, the evolutionary history of humans and other species, and more. Once at the lake, we spent about 30 mins watching numerous pink and gray dolphins, and then jumped into the water to cool off for a few minutes. We then headed back towards the lodge and noticed a few sloths along the side of the lake. On the way back to the lodge, we stopped at Chino and bought a few things at the market before continuing back to Chino for lunch.
After lunch, Alexia, me, and Fernando rode out to Tabano, where we enjoyed the scenery and spotted a tarantula and some monkeys in the trees.
Once back at the lodge, I had dinner, showered and am heading to bed around 10
