Last Day in Montezuma

I am not feeling well today - I think it was the cheese sandwich I ate from the grocery store.  They don't keep the sandwiches refrigerated.  I figured it was okay and I ate one the day before as well.  But now I'm thinking it was a bad idea to eat an unrefrigerated (and who knows how old) cheese sandwich, even if it comes from the grocery store.

So today, like my previous days, I'm more or less lazing about. I may very well spend much of the day in this hammock here.

I have not been doing too well here - there was the fall and now I have felt ill for the past 24 hours.  Additionally, I swear the %100 deet no longer works and they have begun to sting through my clothes.  I have 2 or 3 dozen bites, many new from last night.  I even have bites on the bottoms of my feet! (Of course, I didn't put deet there).

The only thing that can really be said for today is that I went to the bathroom and saw my first howler monkeys.  (Not in the bathroom of course, but through one of the massive windows.)  I actually heard them first, then saw them climbing through the trees.  I ran to get my camera and snapped a few photos.

This is my favorite photo resulting from today's photo session.

Since it was after 9am, I went downstairs to breakfast.  I was so anxious throughout breakfast - I could hear them moving and see leaves and twigs falling from the trees, but couldn't see them from where I sat.  I ate quickly and then popped over to the side of the hostel building to take some more pictures.
