The Middle of Rainy Season


We haven't seen a ton of rain, just enough to put those canals through Crucecita to work and turn everything green. Maybe we'll get it all at once some day.
Check out this big swollen rain-fed snail.

These bright newborn green lizards are everywhere. They look kind of fake, like toys. If they're sitting on the right bush, they are impossible to see unless they move. That's the trick and it works well for them most of the time.

Context is everything. I tried to startle this one in the office hallway into moving but it wouldn't budge, convinced I couldn't see if it just stayed still.

It's now 7 hours to vacation time. A lot of people have already left but I'll be spending it here in Huatulco.

Rainy season is supposed to be the hottest time of the year. That's true about the water. Sometimes you have to dive down and skim the ocean floor to find any cool but a breeze on wet skin feels good when you come out so it's well worth the effort. At UMAR the walkways are covered nicely with green canopies. Walk slowly and everything is cool.
