Wake up clouds—every leaf, every vine is still. Sit outside
on the breathtaking veranda, overcast sky grows deeper, more layered and the
thunder begins. To compete, we were a growling coming from the trees. A
guttural, low-pitched howl. Trees begin
to sway. Creatures climbs and swing. Howler monkeys abound! “Is that an
elephant?” my daughter asks. J
They are amazing. Up close in the binoculars, they are beautiful, large ebony
colored. Thriving in the treetops, singing, eating. The thunder intensifies.
Hummingbirds buzz around us, drinking dainty droplets of rain off the plants.
The rain pours, sputtering against the roof, drenching the plants, a long
thirsty drink. Birds sing and parrots squawk. A perfect morning at Villa Ananci Village.
