Waiting for St. Patrick's Day

13 July 2012 | Chaguaramas Bay, Trinidad

If you were this iguana, you would always be ready for St. Patty's Day. The local iguanas are bright green and parade around looking for food next to the popular and busy Roti Hut. By 11:30 every day but Sunday, there's a long, slow line of all sorts of people waiting for a chicken, duck, beef or vegetarian roti. The iguanas line up just about the same time and wait for handouts, for example pumpkin slices as seen in this photo. I was making my first roti purchase for Ed's lunch and as I stood there, I saw a tiny lizard scoot into the bushes. I then looked and saw another lizard so large and brown (unlike this one) that I stared at it thinking it must be a yard ornament. Except there was no yard and it moved. I pulled out my camera but missed the shot. Next thing I knew, a fellow cruiser tapped me on my shoulder and told me to look behind me where I saw half a dozen very green iguanas climbing a tree and waiting for "feeding time", which was precisely the same as roti time. They weren't as big as the first one, but were vivid and bright.
