Hello,
Well that is our new toucan's name. She already knows it. When we call her she jumps up to see you. She sings (make a very funny noise) many times of the day. We, and our guests are really having fun with her. The top part of her cage is level with the breakfast palapa so she sits on the top branch and looks in at people. She can't see straight over her big beak, so when she looks right at you she has to tip her head. She loves to play peek-a-boo with me. I'm still amazed at how much she eats. She eats 2 big (dog food sized) bowls of fruit per day and still begs for more. Bruce is even giving her bananas at lunch. She is very funny to watch her eat. She picks up the pieces with the end of her beak, then throws them up and into the back of her throat; looks like doing shots of tequila! I'm working out a deal with the fruit/veggie truck that I can have the over ripe fruit that they can't sell. This should help.
We have great news here. We have a brand new generator and it is working great. We have been having crazy power outages here almost daily for hours at a time. Now when the power goes out Milos just flips on the generator and full power/AC/water. We now also have a new water pump with awesome water pressure.
It is still very busy here. It looks like we will be mostly full until September. We do have 1 bungalow available from the 23rd until the end of the month. As busy as it is here it is very quiet with out Jacob. The first few days I kept thinking that I could hear him yelling "Mom". We have talked to him and he is having a great time, although he is very cold. He told me that maybe just having flip-flops in Oregon is dumb. Before he left for the states he started learning to scuba dive. He is doing great and loves it. This is one of the reasons he was so happy to be 10.
The new bungalows are coming along. One is just being finished sheet rocked and will ready to paint Monday. This should be done by the end of the month. The other one has the floor done. I can't wait until they are finished because then starts our pool. I have already ordered nice pool floats. These are the ones that can be taken to the beach to lay on the sand; float on in the ocean; or just in the pool. They should be here next week, maybe.
I need to get back to work and see if Miriah needs another bowl of fruit.
Have a great day,
Celeste
