  • Lagertixa Enorme

    The wildlife hunting started before we even left for the Pantanal.

    Do you see him?

    image

    He’s right there.

    image

    He was under our sunbed at the pool.

    image

    A local man came up to Kerri and said “lagertixa enorme” and pointed under our sunbed.

    image

    Kerri understood that perfectly, because she speaks Spanish, and it sounds just like “lagertija”.

    image

    So she went poking around under the sunbed trying to get a picture. See him?

    image

    There he is!

    image

    Then a staff member came to ask what she was doing, and she said “lagertija”!

    image

    And the staff member said “no English”.

    image

    So apparently Kerri can only listen to Portuguese.

    image

    Do you think she can actually speak Spanish?

    image

    Kerri then said “animale enorme”, and the staff member looked alarmed.

    image

    He was only actually big compared to the other lizards at the pool, which were all too fast to get pictures of.

    image

    Kerri is not going to try to speak any more Portuguese.
