I’m not going to try to edit these photos (a few have captions). Just enjoy the hike with Barb, Trevor and me. It was a bit rainy, but then again it seems this is a normal occurrence in this rain forest. Not nearly as wet as it was when I walked it with Lynne and Phil Smith about seven years ago. Thanks for taking the pictures Trevor.
When I returned home, I was talking to Ricky (the handyman) about the trail. He said he was one of the original workers on the trail when he worked for Exxon in 1980.
One of my funniest language mistakes: Ricky was here with his workers fixing the problem with the hot water. One of the workers asked me to run the kitchen water to see if it got hot. I did so, let it run for a while and then said, “Sí, estás caliente.” Which means, “Yes, you’re hot.” Amazing how much difference one little “s” can make. Almost as bad as the time at the café in Greece when I said that I would take my coffee with shit (instead of black).
I am enjoying watching this little house being constructed across the way from my painting table.
The beginning of a new production line:
Amazing hiking trail! The flora is amazing! Love the little house across from you. Great possibility for a painting of it?!! Great photos. Love the last one of the white flower! Another painting opportunity??!!
Love the pics. So green can almost smell the earth
Thanks for sharing Chrissy. The hike looks amazing! 😂 Regarding your language slipup😘 Have another great day
These photos are amazing! I felt like I was hiking with you along the way! One of my favorite things to do is walking/hiking through the rain forest. The guide on our tour on the island of St.Kitts was so informative about the trees that grow there and the picked off leaves of them to let us smell them. We had cinnamon,bay leaf and lemon grass. We also learned the medicinal properties each one has. The saying is use what you can grow to help with aches and pains to help remedy, before going to the doctor. Were those two birds you saw on the trail Quetsels(sp)? I’m going to put this on our “things to do” list when we go next year.
