It has certainly been an adventure! I met gracious and brilliant people, learned about a new culture, enjoyed delicious local cuisine, and made memories tip-toeing around to catch brief glimpses of amazing rainforest plants and animals. The fascinating sights, sounds, and smells will also be with me. Goodbye Barro Colorado Island!
