On Saturday morning we took a sunrise canoe tour of the mangrove lagoon that separates the beach of Monterrico from the mainland . It was early and we were tired, but it was worth it. We saw lots of birds, mostly egrets. We saw a lot of men fishing - but got no good photos. This mangrove lagoon is a special ecosystem because in the rainy season it is filled with fresh water, but in the dry season the ocean water washes in and it is mostly salt water. It is home to turtles, caimanes and two endangered species of mangrove, all of which are protected here.
Cenzo and David, you look tired, but somehow Giancarlo looks ready to go! Looks like a beautiful tour and a lot of fun. Have fun next week!!!
