nature things Africa has to offer.
There are many different bugs, but most of them we've seen (so far) aren't big, scary or hairy. There are lots of large black ants that scurry around everywhere super fast and bump into each other- great entertainment to watch or try to squash or try to catch. (Colby is demonstrating that in the picture below).
The landscaping is a lot greener and more colorful than what we expected. We have many new kinds of flowers and trees around our house, none of which I know the names of, except the "lime tree"- that one's pretty easy! (Nolan is standing in front of it in a picture below). Although we can actually eat the limes off the tree, we've only used it for shade so far! *note: since I originally posted this we have discovered that this is not a lime tree- it is some sort of fig tree!
And my favorite "nature thing" is the view of the Atlantic ocean and the sunsets right outside our windows everyday! I'm sure with three boys we'll be finding more fun nature things around here, just hopefullly not in our beds or food!

What a gorgeous view! Can you swim in the ocean if you want to? Is there a beach?
You can't play in the ocean right in front of our house. The beach where you go to play in the sand and water is on an island a short distance from here (we can see it from our master bedroom window) and you take a boat ride to get there. We haven't tried it out yet, but we are planning on doing it sometime soon!
