The Sun Doth Shineth

and we were most happy

Driving to Rincon of the Seas from San Juan, Puerto Rico
We arrived when it was dark and the first impression was my ears being assaulted with loud twitterings in the lobby, in the hallways, in the gardens outside our room.

I and another guest were convinced it was a looped recording to add ambiance to the place (as if it needed it lol). I thought it would drive me bonkers if I had to listen to this all the time. By morning it was gone, but the next day as soon as it got dark it started up. After a couple of days I asked the maid and she explained it's not parrots or a recording and had a good laugh at my confusion.

Nope, not parrots, but this little fella called a Coqui.

tree frogs about 1 inch long
and NO it didn't drive me bonkers I quickly learned to enjoy their serenade each evening.
