The Flora and the Fauna



The folks encountered more than a few furry friends while they were away.
The macaws are so beautiful, But you can't get a live one through customs, the craftsmen that create the ceramic Talavera folk art capture their beauty.





The ring tail lemurs are everywhere and you can encounter them anywhere. They have really imprinted on people and show absolutely no fear when approaching people. The picture was taken at night with a flash (hence the glowing eyes). They aren't nearly this frightening in real life, they are actually quite cute.


The Mexican Spiny Tail iguana are prevalent as well. This one is a male ... you can tell by the stripes on his back.
