This little man was basking in the sun while enjoying a sweet snack in Pyla. I was never alone while spending a quiet day reading or painting in the garden, though something tells me these critters enjoyed life there just as much as I did.

Iguana; Puerto Rico
If you ever make it to Puerto Rico, visit this guy & his buddies on Isla Mujeres. The quaint, charming island can be explored in it's entirety by moped or golf cart in a single afternoon.
Almonds in the Raw; Cyprus
In the village, you sometimes have to work for your food. These almonds required multiple steps of undressing before they could be enjoyed, but my gosh was it worth it. I ended up with a handful of nuts & a bucket of remains. Yiayia told stories of how she used to sneak off to the almond trees with another little boy in the village. They would fill their aprons with nuts, then sit under the tree that was the farthest from the man watching over them. After peeling & eating as many as they could, they would dig holes & bury the remains so no one would suspect a thing. I'm still looking for an almond tree in New York.
