Hello,
We have a new member here at West Bay Lodge. She is about 6 months old and a beautiful Keel billed toucan. She doesn't look real until you see her move. She is still getting used to her new cage under the front of the breakfast palapa. We are still learning about how to take care of her. She eats only soft fruit like papaya, melon, bananas ect. It seems funny that if she eats birdseed it can kill her. The cats just keep sitting and watching her. I'm am adding a picture of her. She doesn't have a name yet and we are waiting for the perfect one that fits her. If anyone thinks of something please email me. Maybe it should be a contest for the winning name?
It has been very busy here as usual and mostly we are full until after the El Salvadorian holiday on Aug 5th. On Friday the 20th is Jacob's birthday when he turns 10. Still not sure where his party will be and he is in summer camp that day. He is very proud that he will now be "double digits". For his birthday present he is getting a plane ticket and 1 month back in Oregon to visit his Grandparents and family. He has only left the island 1 night since we moved here. He is very excited but I know he will miss going to the beach everyday and snorkeling. It is going to be hard for him at first, I heard that kids in the states have to wear shoes or flip-flops at least. Here he is mostly barefoot.
Our front office and gift shop is in such a great place that we have been asked by Alamo/National car rental to put their West bay office in with us. We will run the reservation part and also pick up and drop off for all of West bay. Until now there wasn't a car rental company outside of Coxen Hole for this area. They are going to fix the canal out front to make parking and even put in the speed bump that I have been asking the municipality about for months. Everyone there says yes, we will come and put it in for you (or they even said that I can do it myself) but so far they keep forgetting.
Today was cruise ship day here. They are gone now and everything is quiet again. We are down to only 1 every Wednesday and then Sept-Nov there is only Carnival every other Wednesday. I talked to Continental yesterday and between now and Dec 15 there will be no Sunday flight here. So anyone looking and can't find this flight, this is why. I think the Wednesday direct flight from Houston will start around Christmas time. That is great for people coming down that think 1 week is not long enough and can't stay 2 full weeks. I'll let you know when I hear more.
Well, I might go walk on the beach. I haven't been to the beach before 5:30pm in quiet a while. It has been very nice here although we could use a little rain. It is nice when we get our showers at nice with the beautiful lightening.
Have a good evening,
Celeste
