John's hand for scale

The bug I spoke about in the previous post. The boys also found a HUGE toad on the way back from the pool, nearly eight inches tall. Yeesh. I'm glad they found it and not me.

It's really fun to really realize that it's not anywhere else we've ever been. It really doesn't feel like California or Louisiana or even Hawaii or Taiwan or the Caribbean or any of the other places John and I have been before. Even with the tropical climate, the architecture, language, people mix, and everything makes it utterly unique to itself. It's cool to know how much every place really is individual.

This is cracking me up that you commented on the grasshoppers and the toads!!! They are So freakin' huge there!!!! I spent a summer in Jacksonvile (misspelling deliberate) working on a TV show and the toads used to pile up in my dog's water bowl. And the grasshoppers are eeevillll!

Tropics = big bugs.

Biggest cockroaches I ever saw were in an outdoor restroom in Miami...

The BIGGEST cockroaches I've ever seen were in my outdoor shower in Hawaii, but the enormous centipede that bit the GIANT flying cockaroach's head off in that very same shower was what sent me running for the guys. *laughter* I didn't even have flipflops on to hit the thing with.
