Oceanfront Beachhouse for Rent

About every morning later in the morning here at the oceanfront beachhouse where I live, I peel a mango and sit at the kitchen table downstairs to eat it.
This morning the cat jumped up to lick the mango peels which was surprising because I didn't know cats liked mango. I am not the cats owner so I really did not know about all it's
tendencies. We give the mango peels to our resident iguana that lives under the front porch. This iguana has taken over the dog bowls that were left here by previous tenants.
So he is now our iguana watch dog along with all of his family. Sometimes they
sit outside the steps and wait for breakfast. They will eat anything, chicken bones, leftover eggs, macaroni - you name it...and if they don't eat it - the crabs and birds will.


Since it has been raining alot here lately the blue land crabs have been coming up out
of their holes and snacking on whatever we throw out. There are no leftovers here in this oceanfront paradise.
Sometimes we leave open coconuts on the picnic table and the birds eat the meat
out of those until they are completely clean.
The favorite coconuts of the locals are the green coconuts, they cut the
tops off with a machete and put a hole in the top and they are
full of coconut water. The brown coconuts are my favorite as the meat is
sweeter and the coconut milk is too, but for those you need to use a
splitting stake to open them. I am slowly getting used to the coconut water
from the green coconuts - it has a little bit of a bite to it compared
to the coconut milk from the more ripened brown coconuts.
Just another day working here online in a tropical paradise overlooking the mexican caribbean.
