And what to my wondering eyes should appear...

My nanny just found this furry little creature making himself right at home in our jungle house...

Looks real cute and cuddly, right?  Until the gardener picked it up...

Yikes!!!  I thought for sure this was a rat, but they kept saying, "zorro linse!"  I googled it and apparently it's in the fox family.  I don't care what the heck it is;  I still don't want it in my house!  Thank goodness I didn't find it!  Otherwise, nothing too exciting is going on right now.  The winds are pretty heavy, which is causing a little irritation because I have a cold that goes away and then comes back after a day or so...ugh!  It's also causing what the locals call "pica pica".  It's a wheat-like crop that gets blown around this time of year and causes severe itchiness.  Very annoying!  Oh the cost of living in paradise...I'll take it because so far it's worth it!!!
