Unexpected Visitor

Monday afternoon I came home from an errand to find this creature on my porch. He was pretty skittish and moved very quickly. It was hard to tell which of us was more frightening to the other! I was determined to get some pictures, and he (she?) was determined to get away.
From the tip of its nose to the tip of its tail, I would estimate it was about 3 feet long. When I asked what this type of iguana was called, and the answer I got was "green iguana". I did learn that if you can catch one, they make good eating. I think I will pass on that local delicacy.
I'm going to Belize City tomorrow to the Episcopal Relief and Development Coordinator's Conference. We will visit school and agricultural projects on the mainland that are supported by ERD. Our diocese of NC coordinator came to Holy Cross today to visit. I'm looking forward to seeing new places and learning about new projects in Belize. I might also see some of the school projects that St. Luke's worked on those first years we brought mission teams to Belize.
Sunday is our worship service with baptism and confirmation. Please pray for those who will be baptized or confirmed.

Jan, I have already chastised you for telling an untruth about that thing being on your porch. I am sorry to see that my concern for you did not deter you from putting this "tale" on your blog. I'm very disappointed! If it were true, you would be hospitalized in a catatonic state. (I know I would be!) Please try to remember to tell the truth! :)
