Yesterday, I didn't post the building activity along the beach. the top picture is a big hotel or apartment. No construction activity apparent all week. There are one or more people living on the ground floor. No evidence of electrical power or plumbing. Maybe watchman family or squatters. I saw a young woman rocking a baby in a hammock one day.

there were workmen doing masonry at this site.

 Here's my pet lizard again today. Research leads me to believe he is a Desert Iguana. He must be a child, because they reach 2 feet long.

On a new subject, I was discouraged to find that Skype doesn't work out too well here. I called my friend and neighbor, Stuart, to see what's up in the hood. At first things went well, but soon he could't hear me. I was either breaking up or mute on his end. We gave up and later I checked connection speed. Upload speed is terrible. varying from none to 70/80 KBS. Says you need 83 KBS minimum. So I now have $25 credit that will be hard to use. Oh Well!!

I have been ready to record the "Howling" for the last two mornings. It didn't happen. It occurred to me that the nights of the big noise did coincide with the full moon. Maybe that was the reason. I dunno.
