What a lovely place...
It was a long trip here. I'll talk about that later.
I've been meeting people constantly. I feel welcome and appreciated and comfortable.
I've been playing volleyball in the pool and eating till I am full and laughing and being silly and getting sunburned (but I'm trying to not get more sunburned) and having so much fun.

Palm trees are everywhere as are Aloe bushes.

There are humming birds and dragonflies zooming around. Crickets are all over, jumping out from underfoot and the trees have cicadas humming loudly.
I saw a grasshopper last night as big as my finger.
There are lion fountains

These are all I have so far. I need to wait until there are no people around because naked people are camera shy even if its not pointed at them.
Just a quick update before I go back out to play.
