Rainy, Hot, Humid and Rest

Day 8 of Nine

Having already conceded we won’t reach the goal of 100 (see yesterday’s post), the pressure is gone.  Today was a day to relax.  Even more so because of the downpour this morning (something we never had in the morning in Boquete) and the stifling heat and humidity this afternoon.  Once the sun came out after the rain, it remained really hot until the sun went down.  That was exactly when we ran into one of our language school friends that we met weeks ago in Boquete.  She has been living here for about a month already.  “Oh, today was really cool,” she said.  “It’s usually much hotter,” she said.  Yikes!

No new birds today.  We still have 46 for the week.  Tomorrow we’ll take a little boat trip to see Red-billed Tropicbird, so we should get at least one on the 9^th and last day of the week.

Since we didn’t get any birds today, I thought I’d share a photo of this little beauty we saw earlier this week, a tarantula.
