Bocas_880S1538_Our lunch restaurant on Craw Cay - this place was beautiful!_



Bocas_880S1548_Craw cay is mostly on stilts above the water - to walk between locations - you have to walk on a raised path_



Bocas_880S1552_Some larger fish were literally chasing these fish out of the water as you can see them jumping here_

Bocas_880S1568_Red frogs at red frog beach_



Bocas_880S1569



Bocas_880S1575_As they were smaller then we thought, it was tough to find the red frogs at first - but if you keep a sharp eye, you can find them in the bush pretty easily_



Bocas_880S1591_Turns out that the red frogs are poisionous, but only if their venom is injected into your bloodstream, so your pretty much safe (unless you do some weird things with the frogs)_

Bocas_880S1801_While we were taking a look at some of the trees - Jaimie noticed a cob web - and, of course, a friendly spider in the center.   Wouldn't want to walk into that!_



Bocas_880S1802_We also found a pre-historic looking iguana next to us our on beach walk_



Bocas_880S1803_These spiders are ugly!_

Bocas_880S1855_1_While I was selling the hotel photos, Jaimie was making friends with the owner's parrot, Maco._



Bocas_880S1872_Joanna, the owner of Casa Acuario, thought it would be a good time to get a professional photo of her and Maco - since she was trading the photos for 2 nights._
