Isla Sorna is a dangerous place to picnic.
Traveling by Range Rover over Costa Rica’s bumpy roads to a deserted beach, the Bowman family for adventure and picnicking on the beach. When they get there, they are alone. Ellen Bowman is afraid of snakes. Young Cathy is not scared and wants to explore, hopefully, to see a sloth. Looking down at the sand (instead of up in the trees for a sloth), she finds three-toed bird tracks and a lizard. Curious, Cathy offers the critter her sandwich, and the lizard quickly crawls up her arm, aiming for her face. Cathy is saved in a timely fashion by Mom and Dad and taken to Puntarenas, where she recovers. The bite marks are unidentified.
