All of us tourists got off the two buses, and the guides pointed up at a tree in a schoolyard ringed by chainlink fence. High in the tree, a mother sloth and her baby were trying to sleep, but were roused by the commotion. Bracing against the chainlink fence with my Father's camera, I managed to get this picture:
