Daniel Johnson's Monkey and Sloth Hang Out












 This is one of the activities I was looking forward to the most, ever since I saw it on a TV Show.  We went to a Sloth Reserve.  It was $12 including taxes.  They actually have a shuttle service that will pick you up at your hotel for $30.

When we arrived and paid the admission we were taken on a tour by a guide.  They have an open air area where the sloths are nearby in the mangrove trees, someone takes it out of the tree and then they let you hold them.  Sloths sleep 20 hours a day, so they are pretty mellow and just cling to you like a tree.  Unfortunately you're not allowed to pet them.  All around they have Capuchin monkeys in cages and you are allowed to go into one and stand in the middle and let the jump on you feeding on sunflower seeds the guide provides.  Next to these cages are the parrots, same thing here, you walk into the cage and hold out your hand with sunflower seeds, the birds come to the guide and then he puts them on your arms and head!  It was a lot of fun and good for lots of pictures.  Definitely recommend it for everyone.

 Oops, didn't realize it's been a whole year since I've posted last.   Well we we wanted to go to The Wok, but they didn't open until 12 and it was 11:20, so I didn't want to wait 40 minutes - we walked next door to the bakery to see if they offered anything for lunch.  They had a large lunch menu including soups, salads, burgers and salads.   The burger didn't mention french fries and since it was a bakery, I wasn't expecting big portions, so Greg ordered the burger and I ordered the pesto pasta salad and we were going to split each item.  Well we get our food and the burger is huge and it came with french fries, so we split his lunch and took mine home to eat for dinner.  Of course I had to nibble on the pasta first, it was delicious.

 This is a great place for all you coffee lovers.  They have a bunch of different coffee drinks and they sell their own roasted coffee for $16 a lb.    I don't drink coffee so the only reason we tried this place is Greg won a free lunch there.  He received a drink, sandwich and dessert from a radio contest.  Funny thing about the sandwich  - they only have 1 Yes that's right - 1 (ONE) sandwich.  It's a Panini and you have your choice of 1 meat and one cheese for $8.  You can add on extra meat for another $2 - I would recommend this.  The sandwich comes with meat, cheese and a mayo/pesto sauce.  That's it.  No lettuce, tomatoes or anything else. Greg said his iced coffee was good. Here is our Panini Sandwiches - we both ordered bacon: They have several different desserts from Carrot Cake, brownies and their homemade icecream.  They have 7 different flavors.  I forgot to take a picture of the menu, but they have a "Family Brownie Sundae" for $25.  I had to ask..

 Ok, I'm really sorry everyone.  I was told this was a Thai restaurant - turned out it was Sushi and Chinese food. lol  We are so glad we stopped.  They have the best fried rice I've had in years, maybe ever.  We ordered pork dumplings as appetizer and split an orange chicken plate.  The dumplings were tasty and had lots of pork, the orange chicken came with broccoli with sesame seeds sprinkled, the fried rice was light and fluffy with egg, onion and soy sauce mixed in.  They don't have a very big menu, sushi, stirfry options where you add proteins to rice, or noodles, we'll have to try that next.  We will definitely be back.
