Puerto Rico fruits, veggies & animals

This is the view from Kirs and Rob's balcony. The view to the right of this overlooks the airport. Plane landings and takeoffs are a favorite hobby.

A favorite hobby of the locals is cock fighting. There are cock fighting arenas, chickens and roosters everywhere. They are roaming free and in cages in backyards.
There is strange and exotic fruit on trees, but very few green or yellow vegetables in the stores. There are a lot of root vegetables, avacados the size of a small football and the best mangoes you have ever tasted. I expected their food to be spicey, but it is actually very bland seasoning wise and often breaded and fried.
There are iguanos everywhere. They are the Puerto Rician squirrel.
