Day 14 - Our Last Day with the Sloths

Today we departed the Sloth Sanctuary and are back at Hotel Brilla Sol for the night. Our bus back didn't leave until 2:40 pm though, so we still got to do our morning tasks.

During nursery time today, the film crew was back on set filming us and also doing some volunteer interviews. We thought we'd escape it, but both Mike and I got a talking to. Should be interesting to see if they end up using it. 



For our last nursery time, we had adult bradypus sloths. I had Alex (gender yet to be determined, as they are still waiting to see if a patch develops) and Mike had Samantha. Alex and Samantha share a cage along with Sunshine and even out of their enclosure they still wanted to hang out together. As a result, they took a potty break at the same time...


And then after Samantha climbed back on Mike, Alex decided to as well.


After the veggie prep we said our last goodbyes to the sloths. I had a cutoff time for sloth visits so I didn't draw it out and get too emotional. They are quite easy to form a bond with. It's gonna be hard to go home. And, yes, I miss them already. Here's a snapshot of most of the volunteers. We'll miss them too.
