A Visit from a Neighbor

This last Sunday, as we were coming home from our soccer games (both the girls and guys played), a monster met us at the sala (dinning room). This was some sort of Iguana/Lizard that had become a little lost. This is the biggest one we have seen out here. We tried to get him to leave nicely, but that resulted only in some crazy, snake-like, hissing. We then moved on to the broom. That seemed to work, but still he didn’t want to leave. Elvira, one of the former girls out here at POPPYS House, got up more courage than Casey or myself, and grabbed him by the tail (hence the photo below) and threw him into the river. He landed, and then swam away. The water level is high, giving us a nice river that runs, almost literally, up to our dining room. We will wait and see what else comes to visit…
