Sunday 28 May 06 - El Valle

Hi all, we spent the weekend in El Valle, famous for it´s golden frogs (ranas doradas).

This place has a nice little waterfall (Chorro El Macho), thermal springs (Pozos Terminales) where you can plaster yourself in mud (good for the skin) and some nice little places to get large amounts of meat for dinner.



There is also a small botanic garden and zoo called El Nispero, which houses the golden frogs and a weird variety of other creatures... e.g. iguanas, farm animals, an ostrich and numerous macaws, tapirs and hawks... all in cages much too small.

Hey Phil, how do those frogs taste?

Karen and Phil said...

"it's" being in the possessive form, of course!

the frogs are poisonous, so we only had a couple.

More updates, please! You must have done something this week (unlike me).

To add to the puncuation argument, "its" is the exception to the rule for possessive. It's means it is.

Not sure if your blog website has this feature, but would be worth setting it up so it sends an email to your blog subscribers to let them know when there is an update. Will email you soon with news of home. Hope you are both well, sounds like you are having a fabulous time.

You can argue, as I now will, that "its" is not actually an exception to the possessive rule, as it in fact follows the form of "his" and "hers": both possessive, neither apostrophied. On the other hand one could say that "its" and "hers" are both exceptions, (along with "his", which is also poorly spelt).
I'm not sure why pronouns are like this. Does anyone?

Oh, and how about some more updates about what a great time you two are having while the rest of us sit at work all day.
