Casa Pequena

2 roman girls (that soon leave for Dominical)
1 Osvaldo (charming hyper active Spaniard crazy enough to begin a farm in the middle of nowhere jungle)
1 500lbs male pig, Cookie
1 horse, Billy Rue
25 ducks
30 chickens (minus the one we ate for dinner - I promise he was an angel, we all passed him around and hugged him and said thank you and pet him for a long time. And this Gallino was hypnotized; he willingly and tenderly laid his neck on the chopping block, a truly loving sacrifice)
15 goats 9they frequently escape in search of Agave to eat, then get caught in the barbed wire and puke up the agave...wth)
hummingbirds - every jewel color you can imagine. My favorite friend is the large scruffy brown hummingbird with a sharply curved beak - he flies into the main house every morning to admire and spin for himself in the mirror... every morning!) 
coconut palms - the real treat is fresh squeezed cane juice, lemon and coco juice
date palm
fruit bats
blood sucking bats that attach to the mother goat 
scarlet macaws
green parrots
hawks
jungle cats (I saw a large Jaguar on my hike into the state park of Corcovdo)
hyenas
pumas - very dog like cat in appearance
thousand of mosquitos
deadly snakes - (Terciopelo and Fer de lance)
wasps - huge
sugar cane
banana trees
cranberry trees
almond trees
cashew trees
lemon grass
green house - sad tomatoes, parsley, carrots
waterfalls
and more

3 houses (main house, 2 story, and romantic bungalow)
no electricity
running water
wood stove
brick oven

I am gonna stay... wish me luck :)
