Now... for the most important part of the weekend... I GOT TO HOLD A BABY SLOTH!!!!! I know the whole educational part of the trip is supposed to be the most important, but how can I not be excited? At the Cacao Farm, we met up with a man named Giovanni, who is better known as "Hombre de Perezosos" or "Sloth Man." He is apparently obsessed with sloths and tracks the 160 that live in the Cacao Farm that we visited. First we tracked down an adult sloth named Byron sitting up in a tree. After we got back, Giovanni surprised us with a baby sloth sleeping in a box. I was the happiest person in the world to get to hold the little guy.
Beyond just sloths, we also took a bat tour and got to see real, live bats up close. This was also a pretty cool experience... but not many people can say they held a baby sloth!!
