Mexican Adventures (and misadventures) Part II

I’m really enjoying life here in Mexico and even though its extremely different to Dublin, I feel very much at home here. Its very easy to fall to Mexico’s charm and feel like you never want to leave.

Mexican Adventures (and misadventures) Part II

I went to feed the deer and clean their pen with one of the guides a few days after arriving. That's when i saw my first ever snake in the wild! I was like a child at the zoo! It was a venomous snake though so I was very careful of where i walked for the rest of the day! We then went to pick coconuts for the little restaurant on the island and I attempted to climb my first ever coconut tree (attempted being the key word!). I let the guide do the climbing while I worked the rope from the safety of the ground! It's tough work but the reward of drinking the fresh coconut water afterwards was well worth it!

09/08/10 - Dr. Dolittle

Hola eveyone, hope you are all well. I have decided to do a special blog on the animals here because they are such a big part of my daily life.

The title of the blog is Dr.Dolittle. For those of you who don't know Dr.Dolittle was a fictional doctor who could talk to animals and understand them as well. Now I'm not saying the animals here talk to me.....that would be a little strange.....so I'm not saying that at all.....on the otherhand I talk to the animals here all the time!!
