Fun Day
I saw the cutest little
face today.
I was able to cross an
item off my bucket list.
I held a sloth.
They wrap their arms
around your neck
and lean against your
shoulder like a baby.
It melted my heart.
It was a baby with a
little round head,
about the size of a
softball.
His head was dark brown
from the forehead up
and framing the face.
His face was beige
with dark eyes,
a big round black nose
and dark fur around its
dark lips
which were turned up
into a smile.
The rest of him was
dark brown
with beige mixed in.
Beautiful coat,
softer than I thought
it would be.
Maybe he’ll develop coarse
hair
that sloths are known
for as he ages.
Long toe nails for
clinging and climbing.
One of the most endearing
creatures
I’ve ever met.
What a fun day we had!
Besides the sloth, we
held a parrot,
a prehistoric turtle,
and one long, heavy anaconda.
We rode on a rickety
boat on the Amazon,
sang and danced with
the Bora people.
shopped for their
hand-crafted souvenirs.
Ate a huge lunch, sampled
ceviche.
Stuck my feet in the
Amazon.
Wonderful day!
Later that night,
we stuffed ourselves
with pizza.
