One great thing about the tropics...

is that science lessons come to you. Lily is inspecting the multi-footed insect that crawled across our kitchen floor just before we went out to swim this morning. It wasn't a millipede, maybe a centipede? Though we may have some crawling insects, we have few flying insects... we left our windows open last evening because it was cool outside, and only 1 moth flew in. It was dark outside, and we don't have any screens, either.

This is a nice shot of the expanse of white tile that "carpets" our house.
