Our fourth morning in El Salvador, I woke up early to go to the bathroom. Must’ve been round 5am cause the sun was starting to rise. I heard a noise in the shower so I pulled the door back and saw a dark creature flopping along the floor. I watched it struggle for a minute, and thought “that’s a weird looking frog.”

 

I noticed the large drain in the center of the floor and figured it must have crawled up through that and was now stuck.

 

Then an appendage shot out from the creature as it kept flopping around and I thought, “that frog’s deformed!”

 

I continued to look at it.

 

It was a bat.

 

I closed the shower door, shut the bathroom door, and went back to bed.
