点评:I had the opportunity to stay five nights in the guest cabin at Patrick’s place out in the jungle. He has truly built something special for himself there from the main house and guest house to the yard and the trails that wind through the property.
I spent time exploring his museum, which holds an incredible collection of items from around the world and from the many places he has traveled. Hearing the stories behind the pieces and reading through old newspaper clippings about his experiences over the years made it even more fascinating.
Each morning I woke up to bird calls and the sound of howler monkeys, surrounded by an amazing variety of insects and wildlife. The many different butterflies were especially a treat. One of the major highlights was getting to see and learn about his birds.
While I was there, four local police officers stopped by to visit Patrick and see the birds. One of them had met him years ago and brought his partners along. They took photos with Patrick and the birds and were just as amazed by the museum and the depth of knowledge he carries.
Patrick also took me to visit several nearby lodges owned by his friends, where I met many truly kind people. It was an incredible trip, and I will definitely be returning.

我花时间参观了他的博物馆,那里收藏着来自世界各地以及他游历过的许多地方的珍贵藏品。聆听藏品背后的故事,阅读他多年来经历的旧报纸剪报,更让我着迷。
每天清晨,我都会被鸟鸣和吼猴的叫声唤醒,周围环绕着种类繁多的昆虫和野生动物。各种各样的蝴蝶尤其令人赏心悦目。此行的一大亮点是能够亲眼观察并了解他收藏的鸟类。
在我逗留期间,四位当地警察前来拜访帕特里克,并参观了这些鸟类。其中一位多年前就认识他,这次还带上了他的同事。他们与帕特里克和鸟类合影,并对博物馆和他渊博的知识赞叹不已。
帕特里克还带我去参观了他朋友们在附近经营的几家旅馆,在那里我遇到了许多非常友善的人。这是一次令人难忘的旅行,我一定会再来的。
