Pobrecito!! (means "poor thing" in spanish). Yesterday, the gardeparques (park officers) saw a sea lion with massive cuts all over it's back, most likely from a boat propeller. Today, they managed to capture it and bring it to the park office where the gangrenous flesh was removed, it was given antibiotics, cleaned up, and set free. Chevere!!! When we released the poor fellow, he looked back at us for a while as if to say... "Thanks guys". Nah, it was probably the drugs making his head spin.
Anyways, I'm also posting a few pictures to give you guys an idea of how tough life is here. Basically, I live in a house in the middle of the park, which is pretty much jungle, my walk to work in the morning is 5 min. down a little mud path, and we have 2 hr lunches (mas o menos) where we have ice cream in the town and watch the fisherman bring in their catches, which are carefully inspected by the local brown pelicans.
Having a terrible time.... Ha!
you may need therapy after this...sick
