Cultural Experiences

Two evenings ago we went into town and it was a nice to get a break. I realized I had been at the centre for 7 straight days without leaving. It almost felt like being cooped up in the house too long. There were about 25 of us that ended up going to this pizza place. There were lots of options to choose from, not just pizza. I ended up with pizza and fries though. Next time, if I get the chance to go again, I'll get Ceviche. It looked so good when Carolina got it. It's great having time to get to know some of the girls that are still here. Especially when they are from different countries and do things differently. Learning from other cultures and the way they say or do things is such a wonderful experience. 

Yesterday afternoon I finally had the opportunity to work on active enrichment with the baby sloths. My oh my what an experience that was. There are literally no words to describe the experience that I had carrying them over to enrichment. Jay was so fun, even though he can be quite the pain in the butt. It's great seeing them climb around on the branches. Jay moves so fast, for a sloth. 

All of my days seem to be running together now, I forget what day of the week it is half the time. I wake up, eat breakfast at 7. We have our meeting at 8 to delegate tasks and then we work on tasks until lunch at 12. Depending on your tasks, you usually will have a little down time, that's usually when I catch up on my reading, do a little laundry, or write this blog. Today during my down time I was sitting on one of the benches and all of a sudden Alex got Violeto out. He's the sloth that was electrocuted and had to have one arm amputated while the other one is badly damaged and is wrapped up. He let him out to do some stretching and move around a bit. It was so sweet to see him get some exercise because he is in a small cage. So him working on building up his muscles and moving around is great for his rehabilitation.
