Animal Rescue Center right across from our hotel...

Wow... I was thinking we would be roughing things on this trip.... so far not the case and I'm liking that!  For sure it is hot and muggy... Started out with a good breakfast with the group... none of us had to arrive here till this evening, but we all came a day early so it's made from some good 'get to know ya' time!
Went to a animal rescue place right across the street from our digs.  Very well done and yet sad when you think that if these guys hadn't been rescued. they'd be dead.  Some had their parents killed, some were illegal pets folks couldn't handle, some were badly injured and brought back to good condition, but maybe not great condition for living back in the wild.  Took over 300 pictures... egad... digital cameras make that so easy!
Have some prolific spiders, that fortunately, are not where we are walking... the male spider is the tiny one while females are the more formidable looking one... I HATE SPIDERS!  However, I did snap some pics...  So, here goes today's adventure...

 Found this leaf cutting ants taking a journey bring stuff home for their nest!

Our fearless pro giving us hints and his feelings on pics!

 Trying to be artsy... FAIL... darn drops were too little... The other folks here are REAL good photogs!  I don't care though... I'm loving this!

This guy was a hunka hunka handsome!

Owie on his beak...
