Sick

My Feet in One of the Hammocks at TRC

I suppose it had to happen sometime, and it was no surprise that it was today. The weather was very hot, the humidity was 101%, and we had to do two long foraging walks. By noon I was feeling a bit weak and Karina let me stay at the lodge for the afternoon, as long as I would spend the time listening to my audio recording of the calls of all the different macaws, parrots and parakeets. It’s baffling how similar they all are, but they are beginning to sound a bit different from each other.

Anyway, I think the combination of new and different food and all the heat gave me a bit of heat exhaustion and an “uncomfortable” stomach. It was nice laying in the hammocks suspended from the rafters of the atrium where I could feel the slight breeze of the afternoon. Every time Karina walked by I made certain that I had the earphones on!
