It's Not Fairfield

Sometimes I think I'm watching the Nature Channel (although we don't get that down here,) but we have many varieties of plants, birds and animals. The lizard species is prevalent - Iguana's and other slithery creatures are everywhere in our yard - cool looking yellow birds and hummingbirds - I have tried to make friends but they don't seem interested. Outside our fence, roosters, malnourished dogs and goats abound. Electricity is very expensive down here and we will have to pay costs over our allowable amount, so we've kept un-screened doors and windows open during the day. It took about 5 days for the mosquito community to figure out there was alcohol-free Irish Blood available at Sol Palmas - we were inundated and have since decided to pay whatever extra it is not to be eaten alive.
