Let me introduce our back yard pet.  He is one of two ignuanas that have taken up residence within the walls that surround the property.  When it turns warm, he crawls up out of the cinder blocks to sun himself on the ledge of the wall.  It is interesting to see him pose as well as chirrup, his way of talking to other iguanas who might be within hearing distance.

Sunday marked two weeks in Chuburna.  Today we had Roger and Suzanne come for the afternoon and overnight at our villa.   Almost within moments at arriving at our villa, we set off along the beach so that Roger and Suzanne could show us where they had stayed for a month a few years back.  While walking, talking and taking pictures, Roger was amazed at how the beach had changed.  Some places had more beach and other spots had less beach, changes he hadn’t expected over a short two-year span.

Maureen and Suzanne had a lot to talk about, especially since both have work backgrounds in the field of medicine.  Roger and I were much too busy taking photos of anything that sat still long enough  and then discussing our captured images. 

At the gate to our villa property. Thanks, Roger, for taking the photo!

We took time to plan our upcoming four-day trip to a few Mayan sites, cenotes and old Spanish colonial churches and such.  Of course, that means we will not be posting here for four days while we are wandering around the countryside and seaside beginning Friday morning.

The evening was spent playing cards and glasses of chilled white wine.  It would have been better if Roger would have let me win, but being a good host, it was best for the host to allow the visitor to win. 

Before leaving late this morning, we took a long walk down the sandy lanes.  And as we did yesterday, the women visited and we chased butterflies and birds to see which ones would be lucky enough to get their photographs added to our photo collections.  Having company stay over was a great experience.  I wonder if any other friends or family will make the journey?
