I came home to my rented house yesterday to find a man talking rapidly in Spanish and very excited on my doorstep. After I politely explained in my rudimentary Spanish that I don't speak Spanish, he went away. I went into my back yard to find the coconut tree on fire. Then I spotted a man in the mango tree picking all the mangoes. Since the yard is a fortress I have no idea how he got into the tree. Walking back into the house to find some Spanish speaking help, I hear this gawd-awful noise coming from the down spout ... an iguana had fallen into it and couldn't get himself out.I put the coconut tree fire out with a bucket of water from a barrel (did I mention that the water supply goes out nearly every day?!), never could find out how the guy got up the mango tree but he swung onto the neighbors tree so I figured that problem solved itself, and I (hopefully) flushed the iguana down the drain and onto the street (did I mention that all the drains empty onto the streets here?!)
A Very Merry Christmas To You And Yours!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU, Karen. I wish you more such interesting happenings and a very good and fun NEW YEAR!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your friendship and for all the great posts in this year to share with me. Take care!
You certainly are having a more exciting Christmas than we are. It is a beautiful sunny day and the snow is glistening all the right things. Very quiet though. Have a Merry Christmas

I absolutely love your photos of the cathedrals of Granada!
ReplyDeleteCan you tell me what Granada is like in the Spring? Is it a good time to visit?
Thanks All!
ReplyDeleteHi Ann .. I think it is spring in Granada now. Temps are in the mid to high 20's C, cooler at night. Beautiful blue skies and a nice breeze. I hear it gets hotter in March and April, summer perhaps?
Sounds like you have an interesting life. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteWish I were here! Looks warm and lovely!
ReplyDeleteBTW, how did the coconut tree catch of fire?
I think "I went into my back yard to find the coconut tree on fire" is the funniest sentence I've read in months.
ReplyDeleteYour "day" sounds like a lot of fun!

Hi Angie .. well apparently the fellow that was up the mango tree stealing the mangoes was getting stung by wasps, so he started a stick on fire to burn them out, the wasp nest fell into the coconut and tree and the rest is history .. honest, I don't make this stuff up. Life just gives it to me to write about.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Sounds like you had quite a Christmas!!!
