Interesting day

So... today we cleaned out the entire nature center. Which means cage changes for it seems to be a million animals. All completed in 4 hours. Good thing to.. Anyway. I got to take care of Ms. Tozi who is our large and very cranky green iguana. I was only able to pet her tail. And it amazes me how skittish she is around humans. We researched about her reticent behavior towards people but I guess its a personal problem for her. Work will progress.

Steph and I belayed on the rock wall today. (after cage cleaning) A large group from Camino Island is here. I had a decent time.. even though my fingers did not. The callouses are coming along nicely.

So a New Zealand fact for today: New Zealand gave its women the right to vote in 1893, a quarter century before Britain or the US.

Lovely.

You really need to meet that guy...he is so darn cute..seriously Whitney..to die for..almost. AND he could tell you all about New Zealand since he was there for about 6 months. He has relatives there..good to know!

What living being isn't skittish around you?? ;) I'm glad you're having so much fun, despite the callouses. Are you taking any pictures?? I want to see this place, hope you don't mind if we try to come and visit you sometime up there. Thank you for the very sweet comment on my narcissistic little bit, and I love you to shmootzipoo ;).
