I have had the great fortune for the last 5 years to celebrate my birthday in different places around the world. On this day, I celebrate by 50th here in Borneo- me & my 3 guys & all the critters!
 |
| Special wake up birthday greeting! |
 |
| Headed out for our early am hike- |
 |
| Fresh civet scat with seeds- Our guide, Ali explained to us that there is a very expensive Indonesian coffee, Kopi Luwak, that is made only with coffee beans that have been first digested by the civet. It is also known as cat poop coffee. Look it up- it's a real thing. |
 |
| Tiger leech waiting for it's next meal- |
 |
| More pill millipedes- |
 |
| Evidence of an orangutan's recent passing- fresh chewed leaves |
 |
| Strangler fig tree estimated to be 10X older than me |
 |
| The pattern on this feather was so intricate, it looked hand-painted- |
 |
| Our afternoon hike- |
 |
| Red-naped Trogan |
 |
| Gift to me by Ross |
 |
| Rainforest orchids |
 |
| Our excellent guide- Ali |
 |
| Birthday dinner celebration on the Jungle Terrace |
 |
| The kitchen copied my name from my passport... we thought it really funny that my maiden name ended up on the plate! |
 |
| Even by skipping the night safari, I could not escape the creepy-crawly things- ugh! (At least it flew onto Matt instead of me) |
 |
| We closed the day & our time at the Borneo Lodge with an intense game of Vocable, which is very much like our Scrabble but with a few combined letters and a little different scoring... No one gave mom any slack just because it was her birthday! :) |
