Day 5 - Tierra del Cafeina

The lush landscape of the area can be very deceiving. While beautiful it can still be a very dangerous place to stay long. Last night, after making it to Tierra del Cafeina, and getting everything setup, a torrential rainfall nearly flooded out our camp. Frightened animals seeking shelter would suddenly pop up and Todd nearly went into a fit when a lizard climbed up his back and hid under his shirt. I told him to be grateful that at least it wasn't going for a more southern locale. We have since nicknamed him Zippy, after the sudden frantic efforts in unzipping his pants to keep the lizard from 'nesting' or whatever it does anywhere south of the border. Too much to do today to keep our camp together to even think about J.V.
