Our friends, the birds

The gardens in the hotel are beautiful. You feel completely alienated from the outside. The "kidney" shaped pool is shadowed by the tropical trees. If you just look up you could be in a jungle or in an episode of "Lost". If you close your eyes... you just hear "croaaaaa, croaaaa, croaaa":Our friends, the crows.
They are prettier than the ones we know, with bluish and grey tones but much bigger and scarier. I am afraid if Emilie has a cookie in her hand they would attack to get it. They did jump... on the stroller, but Emilie was not there...

So we are having breakfast the other day and I can see the window through the mirror. All of sudden we hear "boom"!!! A bird hits the window and flies away.
And "boom" again. Another one makes the same mistake. It turn out there is a rat (probably dropped by mistake by one of the "bird gang") just outside the window and they are taking turns to try to get it. I close the drapes so Emilie who is asking about her little birdies, does not see the meal about to take place. Fifteen minutes later the rat is gone. Bon appetit my friends!!!
