Bugs, critters and creepy crawlers

There are many interesting bugs here. There are bees the size of a big, big toe that are bright yellow, orange and buzz around everywhere. There are lots of mosquitoes at night in particular, but I have a net and its makes me feel safe and secure. It also sort of makes me feel like a princess with a canopy bed. Geckos crawl all over the walls. I was cleaning the library and they kept scurrying out from behind the books.

There are these pretty black birds, the size of crows, that resemble tucans with smaller beaks and have a white patch on their breast. The smaller birds peck around the coconut trees. We also have many chickens at the center and roosters that wake me up every morning around 5 or 6 a.m. crowing.

There are stray dogs that lie in the streets and do not bark or move when you pass. I see goats and cows every day. One family keeps a cow tethered in their yard.
