We get good sunsets
We get good sunsets
Morning mist
and afternoon rain
and rain
and rain
The cloud forest
The cloud forest
The effect of all this on the furniture
But then, there are the sunsets to look forward to
and the sunny days
and, of course, the avocados
if we can keep the iguanas away
plus, there are the bananas
