Since Saturday 10am, we are now under a tropical storm watch. All forecasts seem to have the storm turn north after Haiti, but we don’t really trust them! I’ll be putting up the shutters tonight and we are making sure we have all we need for at least 2 days. The forecasts also have Fay turning into a Hurricane Category 1 sometime soon. We prefer to be safe than sorry.<\/p>\n

Now for some fun stuff we did on Saturday afternoon. A friend of mine at the office told me about this place … amazing! Its basically a small lake and there are many iguanas that live on the shores and in the trees. When we got there, there was not too much to see. But after taking out some saltines (crackers\/biscuits soda for the frenchies reading), the show really started. About 10-12 fairly large iguanas showed up for a snack.<\/p>\n

Here is a Youtube video that summarizes the event. (lasts just under 2 minutes)<\/p>\n

Here I am feeding them. I have heard of people who have been bitten by these guys, so we took the BBQ tong to give them the crackers! Smart move \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Here is Julie having fun with two of them. I just had time to snap two pictures since she was a bit afraid of them!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We spent a good 10-15 minutes feeding them. More were arriving from the lake. (see the video if you have not already done so) It was great fun.<\/p>\n

Upon leaving, they seemed disappointed that the party was over!<\/p>\n
