Your Naturalist Takes A Walk

While awaiting the backstay repair your naturalist (that's me, Laura) has been looking for interesting tropical flora and fauna to share with you. Along the road near Puerto Lindo I found all kinds of fascinating things: mushrooms, flowers, spiders, crabs, and lizards.
