Day #2- Earthquake, Poison Dart Frogs, and Chocolate

At 11:23 p.m. on our 1st night here was a  6.2 earthquake. None of us felt it. We were sound asleep.

We saw over 10 poisonous frogs. Don't worry we didn't lick any of them.

Ian, the dog whisperer. There are dogs roaming around everywhere.

A guided tour of the Chilimante Rainforest.

Chocolate!!! That is cacao, the fruit that has the "chocolate bar on the inside."

Sorry ,  but I took all the chocolate tour pictures with my good camera and I can only use the photos from my phone. It was an amazing tour though and who knew that before chocolate is made into chocolate the seeds inside are bright purple.

Why did the Coatie cross the road? To eat Ian's chips! It was about to jump into the car.
