Aww widdle swoths

Monday I arrived at the Aviarios del Caribe, the Sloth Sanctuary.   It's in a beautiful part of Costa Rica, although from what I have seen all of Costa Rica is beautiful, with the amazing rainforests, giant trees and bizarre animals looking like something out of Avatar or Star Wars.

The life of a volunteer is a hard one.  You get woken at 5 by screaming howler monkeys, then get up and got feed the sloths their breakfast.  After their breakfast you go home for yours.  Then you go back and play with the baby sloths, take them for walks and let them crawl around on the jungle gym.  Then you peel about a thousand carrots and camotes (kinda like a potato).  Then go home where there is a nice hot lunch waiting.  In the early afternoon you go back and feed the thousand carrots to the sloths.  After that, the day is done and it's time to relax.  Catch a bus to the nearby towns or go to the beach.  Very hard life.

The sloths are so much fun and so cute, especially the babies.  The brady's I think look like ewoks and the other babies look like little bears.
