MUNGO EATS Latin America

At night the frogs begin to sing their wonderful song of frog.  Unless it is raining.  Then the song is quieter and the rain is louder.  We are camped at a RV park/Hotel called Villa Patzcuaro.  The town that  we are in is also called Patzcuaro.  There is a small pond near the bathroom that isn’t filled with sewer water.  All there the frogs live in and around that pond.  I have three stories to tell about the frogs.

The first story is the Story of the First Races.  These races happened the day after we got to this campsite and realized that there were frogs.  Here are some pictures of the First Frog.    

The First Races were between Sean and I.  We each took a frog and raced them from one side of a rectangle to the other.  Sean could have won 7-6 but he forfeited so I won!!  Here is some footage live from the races.

And here is a picture of Sean’s Champion Frog.    

Story Number Two is the Story of the Family Races.  We have no pictures of that but let me tell you, it was way more exciting.  We all had candies and before each race, everyone would put a candy in the middle.  The winner got all of the candy.  On these races, the stadium was a circle.  It had a smaller circle in the middle.  That is were everyone put their frogs at the start.  I would say “Ready, Set, Go!” and we would all let go of our frogs.  You weren’t allowed to touch, blow, or scare your frog to make it win.  All you could do was cheer and hope that your frog won.  In the end, Sean had the most candy, I got second, Mum third, and Dad got fourth. 

And the third story is the Story of Trying to take a Video of Frogs at Night.  Even if you have a very good camera it is very hard to take a video of a frog at night.  There isn’t enough light and you end up with a big, black recording of frog croaking.  I wanted a video of a frog croaking so I just tried to find one with a headlight and hope the camera can see it too!!  But, most of the videos were no good so they were all erased… except for this one!!  I was doing a lot of fooling around with the zoom but you can see this little mister the entire time.  He’s in the middle and he’s green, incase you couldn’t find him.
