We were welcomed back by our cat from last year waiting on our doorstep!











There are lots of colorful birds in Tz.  Sometimes our front yard looks like a bird sanctuary.  This picture was taken while sitting at our desk looking out our front window.









We're living in the same brick house. It is the dry season now, but in a few months the gardener will have things watered and beautiful again.











 Cactus grows on the side of our house all year in the dry season or wet season!
















The cactus adds a nice touch of color.












The Jacaranda trees are just beginning to bloom. They are absolutely gorgeous and as they drop their blooms they literally carpet the roads and paths with a delicate purple.









 Unfortunately I don't know the name of these lovely flowers, but the are common on campus.













Likewise for these.











The lane by our house is very quiet right now since the students have not yet returned.
