Free Range Iguanas

We're very fortunate. How many people get a chance to see and photograph free range iguanas? Today we spent the day in Tulum, which are ancient Mayan ruins by the sea near Playa del Carmen. Eventually, we'll get the pictures posted. Until then...

Here's an imaginary picture of "George, the Iguana of Great Importance" sunning himself (on 2nd thought, it could be "Georgette, the Iguana Wife of George") on the rocks of the Tulum ruins. A smile crosses George's mouth. He is watching tourists from all over the world (including two from Seattle) fawn over his great importance. George is posing. Posing for a spread in "Mode" (the magazine headed by Daniel Meade -- Betty ran out and picked up some crickets for George's mid-day snack). George rules!

Anyway. We heard over dinner that there was snow/ice in Seattle yesterday. Cool! We are suffering through 88 degree weather while you all are snow-shoeing.

Tomorrow's stop is Belize. We'll miss George.
