After a breakfast of some scrambled eggs and toast my father went to the main building to give his first lecture. While my father was working I stayed at home and read, an activity I find quite pleasant.
While out walking this morning I spotted several lizards along the side of the road. The first that saw was so small that I first thought it might have been a grasshopper (or some local equivalent). Only on closer inspection was I able to confirm that it was actually an inch and a half long lizard. Shortly thereafter I saw several other brown lizards, all about six to eight inches long. For the most part, these lizards, in attempting to flee from me, drew attention to themselves. One of them, fortunately, stayed still long enough for me to get a picture.

Since our arrival we had been hoping to make operative our apartment’s internet connection. As we arrived on a holiday weekend we were aware that there would likely be a delay of several days, but we both imagined that by some point on Monday would be would able email and Skype from the comfort of our fourth floor apartment.
It seems that at some point this weekend the resident IT specialist at the university decided to quit, and subsequently left the island. Not only does this mean that we likely won’t be online in the coming days, but that all but two computers at the school are offline. Surprisingly, though it may have been a catalyst for the staff member’s untimely departure, there is an external IT consultant on campus for the coming weeks. Hopefully her presence will help get things back on track in the very near future.
Until then it is likely that we will have to take advantage of a casino based internet connection that we spotted last night while dining.
