May

In Margarita, there were a wide variety of animals and insects. They have spiders the size of baseballs! Huge! I was afraid of them but most of the Panamanians were used to them. There were a lot bugs in panama. Some that were just big and annoying others that bit and some small one. Like the mosquitoes, there were two kinds, chritas and mosquitoes. They both bit but they had a different bite, mosquitoes bit like the mosquitoes here in the USA. However, chrita’s bites were small and white. They both itch the same and you couldn’t see the chritas they were so small. Unfourtnantly, I didn’t see any monkeys, but there were a lot of colorful birds! There were big parrots and little, birds of all colors; red, blue, green, orange, all sorts! They were quite fascinating. Also, there were chickens galore! Personally we owned about 30! They were fun to watch grow up! I would always pick my favorite and name it. I named my first chicken Fernando, and in a couple months we ended up having chicken soup! It was hard eating the baby chicken I named and raised. But he was quite delicious. The second chicken I had I named Jose, he ended up getting eaten by a cat when he was a baby. The people in panama didn’t get their pet’s neutered so they would breed and their babies would run wild. There were so many dog and cats running around that didn’t look so healthy. It was sad but there was nothing I could do to help them.
