Good morning,
No it isn't a real baby and not here at the lodge. Mike (our manager) and I took some kids yesterday down the canopy tour zip line, and at the end of the line it drops into Gumbalimba park. The start of the canopy is about 3 minutes from here. The kids had so much fun and Jacob went down a few of the lines upsidedown. There are 14 different zip lines to get to the bottom. When you get off there are many things to do. It was 3:30pm so we decided to go and see the monkeys. They feed them from 3:30 -4; so we try to go at that time. First you walk through the bird area. There are 3 kinds of large macaws, some of them are free just flying around. there are also lots of amazon parrots. They believe that if you take good care of the birds and feed them well, you can let them fly around and they will not take off. Then we went to the monkey area. These are all refugee monkeys. There are 4 cappuchins; 1 big spider; and the brand new baby howler monkey. They just got her on Friday. She is the cutest little girl. She is 3 months old and her name is Mimosa. We had a hard time getting the kids to put her down and quit kissing her when it was time to go. Here is a picture of Julia Watkins with her.
Yesterday morning I went to see the new mall in Coxen Hole. It is above the Sun gas station in the big blue building on the hill. It is called Plaza Mar. The whole first floor is a grocery store featuring mostly american products. The 2nd floor has small shops including a deli; men's clothing; women's clothing; internet cafe; appliance home store; duty free liquor; duty free perfume; and a restaurant. The 3rd floor has a children's store; shoes; beauty shop and beauty supplies; toy store; and a movie theater. I couldn't find a schedule but I will keep looking. There are still more shops to open and I will keep posting. This is pretty big news for Roatan.
Last night was sushi night at the deli; great as usual. It has been very quiet this week around here; however today is cruise ship day and that will change at 12:00. Milos is off the island today so no coconuts & rum on the beach. They will be there next week.
Have a great day!
