Costa Rica in the playground

I had to tell you this tiny one, I took the little girl to the playground, which happens to be at the side of a huge valley, chasm almost, anyhow it is pretty wild and rugged, very steep and lots of trees and this is the tropics, i was playing on the swings and slides and watching the few birds hawking around after the flying insects, as i was wandering around the edge of the field, i was shocked to find myself only 6 feet from a python, not a tiny thing but a huge thing that was as thick as my thigh, it was trying to pretend i didnt exist and not move, i was fascinated by its fantastic colour, it was nicely marked but the sun was shining a beautiful purple off its skin, i was amazed and shocked also, to find this huge 2 meter long snake in the childrens playground was a shock, but something so beautiful also, i got the little girl to come and have a look and she wasnt scared which i thought was good, we stood for 5 minutes looking at it and it began to get a little upset asits last 6 inches of its tail was twitching side to side like a rattle sanke with no rattle, trying to distract us from its rather large head. i left it alone and never told anyone, they would chop it to pieces if i mentioned it to the condo management, for me live and let mive, it did me no harm and i hope it grows big enought to frighten away the guards.
