Puerto Rico

After out short excursion in Glasgow, we loaded up for a flight south to Puerto Rico. It was a long day. We went through security in Glasgow (of course), again in London when we changed terminals, once more in London at the gate when they decided that we won the lottery to have our carry-on inspected, again in Miami when we came into the US and boarded our flight to Puerto Rico. Lordy! We felt really secure!!

So, on this trip we've been as far north as 55.9 degrees in Glasgow, as far east as 3.6 degrees east in Grenada, as far south as 18.5 degrees in San Juan, and end up in Snohomish at 122 degrees west. Even though the trip from Glasgow to San Juan was shorter than a flight from LAX to Melbourne, the terminal changing and frequent safety checks made our travel day feel like we'd had all that travel in one day.


This is  just a short installment to let you know that we are here and seeing some of the fauna of the island. This fellow is a Green Iguana

We are pet sitting in a gated community complete with golf course (and carts). Out by one of the many ponds (water traps?) we found not only the iguana but this guy below, a Great White Heron.

I've never noticed that these birds have a green patch at the eye before. Handsome, long-necked guys they are.
