Fathers Day At The Amazon Golf Course
Fathers Day at the Amazon Golf Course
We had a nice Fathers Day at the Amazon Golf Course with Marmelita’s father and enough of her family to have a couple of hours of good volleyball games. I used to play a fairly good game of volleyball but my old injuries act up every time I think I am younger.
I hung out in the hammock, read some on Living to Tell the Tale, by Gabriel Garcia Márquez, took a nap, enjoyed a perfectly prepared fresh Palometa cooked on the charcoal grill, washed down with an Iquiteńa Extra beer, walked all around the golf course, studied the water flow from the big rain last night, made some plans about where to plant certain species of trees, did some casual birdwatching, more hammock time, and read some more.
While I was studying the water flow across the Amazon Golf Course two eating size fish jumped right in front of Marmelita. Then she pointed out several minnows. Bring your fishing gear to carry with your golf clubs, and machete.
I saw a wide variety of birds without even paying much attentions to details. Several Jacanas fluttered up off of the Lily pads while we walked along the water hazards. I watched a Road Side Hawk catch a small lizard. Two small groups of parrots flew over, and a flock of parakeets, two small green macaws, several Smooth-billed Anis, a Blue-gray Tanager, a couple of Kiskadees, other flycatchers, swallows and swifts, black vultures, several species of small brown or gray birds working the Aguaje Palms for insects. Bring your binoculars, bird watching is good at the Amazon Golf Course.
I hope you enjoyed your fathers day as much as I did. If you are a regular reader of this blog, thank you for being part of the Amazon Golf Course extended family.
Happy Fathers Day From The Amazon Golf Course
