...hearing geckos and geese

I just heard the first gecko call. The "tchk tchk tchk tchk" that fooled me for far too long last year into thinking it was someone rapping on a neighbor's gate is a sound that is so distinctly Honduras to me. The thunder and lightning of the approaching nightly storm are getting brighter and louder. Our new house has neighbors 3 doors down with very loud, obnoxious geese. Neighborhood dogs egg each other on, as usual. Vehicles with engines far too loud for their own good race by on the nearby Anillo Periferico, or circular highway that goes around the city.

There is much more sound to the atmosphere of Honduras than the States, that is for sure.
