Nature Friends

We've made lots of animal friends here on the island. The animals make us happy. 

These donkeys and goats live happily together in this spot between the grocery and our resort. 

They are kept in by the cactus fence, but lots of other goats and donkeys just roam about the land feely:

Adam got too close to these dudes for my comfort. I'm probably way too cautious, but the hospital here is tiny (60 beds. But they do have a hyperbaric chamber because of all the diving), and I have no idea how lifting out by air would work, or how long it would take to arrange transfer to a more equipped facility. I digress...back to the animals!

This cutie kept landing on my hammock one afternoon while I was out reading a book about the lives of strippers (free vacation reading, indulge me here!). There's also tons of hummingbirds and some butterflies. The next birds live at the eating place we tend to watch the sun set from more days than not, and where we spent our anniversary evening- Captain Don's. 

They don't really speak, but they squawk a lot. 

We also met this big guy at Captain Don's Habitat:

We didn't bother him much. He had some very pretty pals swimming below his coral perch:

Here's our view from our sunset spot:

There are also an abundance of small lizards of various sizes and colors. Here's one that was just now hanging out with me on our porch....

I don't like the ants or Mosquitos. They bite, so they don't get a blog feature. 

We do have a very special sweet girl we met down by the pool one night. 

She loves cuddles and detests almond milk. 

When we go inside, she sits outside our door and mewls for more attention. 

She's the favorite. 

Here's our favorite sign, on the grocer's door:

"Please put on your clothes before entering"

Guess there's a little bit of animal inside us all. 

Oh, and this guy is my favorite:

Bon Bini!
