Hot Spring Shrines

 These shrines, at various places on the property, 

were built by an Italian named Gildo (see photo below)

 

 

Strange birds

As I walked on the path by the new Sanctuary, I was

surprised that a pair of birds let me get very close to them. 

 

I also saw a crow swallowing a lot 

 of small rocks to put in its gizzard

  

Lastly, a beautiful sunset from the lodge back deck
