Today, Saturday, we spent the day in and around the cabin at Miriam’s Quetzals. We woke up before sunrise, got dressed, and walked up the hill to the restaurant about 7am. We were the only ones there and took advantage of that to watch the birds at the feeders on the deck after eating. I took a video of the scene.
Returning to our cabin, we decided to hike the loop trail through the forest on the property and look for birds and animals. We saw three additional bird species that were new and some interesting animal scat. Just as we were returning to our cabin it started to rain.
We managed to mostly dodge the showers on our way up the hill again to eat lunch and return. We bought a few snacks at the mini market on the way back down. Then we spent the rest of the day in the cabin reading and resting. Dinner required another walk up hill to the restaurant, but it was no longer raining. We both enjoyed arroz con pollo (chicken and rice) that came with fries, salad and a dessert of half an ice cream sandwich each. It was a relatively restful last full day at Miriam’s in the cloud forest.
