Cooking, wild pigs and moving on This week we did a lot of cooking and experimenting with avocados & bananas. We spotted a family of wild pigs in the yard and have become a bit obsessed with them. And we’re getting ready to move to a different part of the island on Friday. You can see all photos […]
The Passport Protector
Passport denied When Patrick Dichter got in touch with us last week and told us about his product and the reason he created it, he struck a chord. A few years ago our passports went through the wash and we were afraid that we may be denied at the gate. Everything worked out for us but […]

Jackson’s chameleon and a beehive This week we discovered the Jackson’s chameleon, a little reptile that looks like a cross between a dinosaur and a grumpy old man.
