New Year’s Eve

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

After dinner, Eric and I went on another frog hunt – no frogs this time, even in the lodge’s ‘Frog Garden’, but we did encounter a couple of iguanas and another giant spider that took a particular interest in Eric. We were able to take close up pictures of a small iguana that was standing on a flower using a flashlight to light her up with. She wasn’t bothered at all by our presence, even though we got within a foot of her for some of the shots. She was still there at 5:30am the next morning when I stopped by to see her.

In her face, and she didn’t mind at all.

Not being be NYE partiers, we hung out on the porch reading and watching the rain before packing it in well before midnight.
