Meet Some of Our Animal Friends

We've encountered lots of bugs and animals here.  Some of them are fun and some of them are not so fun.  Above-- Annika with a giant frog that was hanging out in our street the first week we arrived.  They make fun noises.
 This is a turtle we encountered in a bread shop one day.  We thought he was adorable and bought him to take to the family we were staying with that night.  We've seen some other giant turtles in the park as well, but sadly we don't have pictures of them.
 There are a few horses that like to hang out in the street.  Sometimes they like to eat the trash before it gets picked up.  This is a regular occurrence for chickens as well.
 Lizards are a pretty common animal here and we've seen a lot around our house.  So far I don't know that we've seen any inside our house, but when we first arrived we saw a lot of lizard poop lying around.  We were assured by many people that lizard poop is clean and we shouldn't be worried.  Once our ceiling was installed we stopped seeing it lying around and are quite thankful :)
This is our cat, Cassiopeia, who appeared a few weeks into our stay on our neighbor's roof and hasn't left since.  It might help that we feed her pretty often and pet her :) She likes to kill animals and bring them for us to see. 

There are lots more that I could introduce you to, but these are the only ones I have pictures of.
