Night Walk




One of my favorite things to do in the evening is going for a walk. At night it gets in low 80's and occasionally there is even a breeze which makes being outside almost enjoyable. Part of the fun is you never know exactly what your going to see. A couple nights ago I saw fire flies for the first time.

It's not uncommon to see civet cats and wild pigs, and monkeys. The monkeys crack me up because they are often noisy right before they nest. I always imagine that it is the mother and father monkeys telling their kids to settle down. John and I really enjoy our evening walks. It gives us a chance to unwind and talk. They kids don't like going because you have to wear bug spray.

I am really going to miss our evening jungle walks. One of my biggest surprises was that I expected the rainforest to smell moldy but it actually smells sweet. It reminds me a of my Grandpa's hay barn. It is a clean organic smell. I am sure that sounds weird to all of you. I am going to miss the sounds. There is nothing like it.

It sounds wonderful, Kathi--well, except for the bug spray part. Just reading about the sweet smell and the night noises makes me feel relaxed and at peace. I'm sure you'll make yourself a video as a reminder, yes?
Thanks again for sharing.
