Suddenly we heard a rustle in the tall palm in front of us and watched with unbelieving eyes as a large iguana fell from the tree and plopped onto the ground way below. It was a long fall as our collective eyes followed the lizard in slow-motion as it twisted in mid-air and disappeared from our view. We all sat quietly for a moment and then burst into laughter bonding in the knowledge that not everything was perfect in the jungle after all.

Leapin' Lizards
We were all gathered at a Valentine party on top of the hill at Karina's folks' house which I had rented one winter. Everyone was laughing, talking, eating and entertaining themselves however they might. Lots of delicious food, a little tequila and raicilla goes without saying and maybe a little something to smoke.
