Waiting for the weekend

It’s Friday and this Aracari bird knows it! While appreciating the sunrise at the Caribbean side of the country, the early bird glances into the horizon and awaits the weekend joyfully as we all do so.

For more stories and photos from Kristel, visit her blog, The Tiny Travelogue, or follow her (and her dog’s) adventures in the tropics and beyond on Facebook or Instagram
