Once I get myself out of the house and on the road, I usually enjoy my walk out into nature. I saw what I thought was a black cat crossing the road in front of me. After close inspection it was a black monkey that had a tail as long as its body. There is also a tree that I pass every day that is full of a hundred or more parakeets. I have seen hummingbirds, swallows, sandpipers, and many other birds I can't name. They have such pretty songs that they sing. Sometimes I take off my earphones so I can hear their songs instead of my daily Spanish lesson.
