The land of lizards!


These guys were hilarious and would follow our every move.

Calvin and I had been enjoying a scenic walk along the north end of the island when out of no where a goat comes trotting towards us with three babies in tow. Her long horns concerned me, and I realized that we had better offer something for her to eat, lest we find out if she is prepared to "butt" us for food. While preoccupied by the goat, we suddenly discover several iguanas making their way slowly towards us from the trees. These iguanas were huge. With bodies that were larger than an average cat, it was obvious that these guys were fairly old. Feeding the goat a small cracker, the iguanas quickly took note of the food on the premises and scurried towards us, swinging their hefty bodies from side to side with every step. We gave them the couple of crackers we had left and once there was nothing left we assumed they would leave. That wasn't the case. The whole gang (mamma goat and babies, as well as the heard of iguanas) followed us for the whole walk and back. It was a riot!
