Fire Flies
Jimbo:
I've rarely seen fireflies in Greece, but I saw a lot when I was researching in the Caribbean on Dominica. I was staying in a guest house in the rain forest. The restaurant area was open-sided, and in one corner there was a pool fed by a hot volcanic spring.
One night I woke up in the small hours and couldn't get back to sleep, so I went down into the dark restaurant and relaxed in the hot pool. Suddenly hundreds of fireflies cam swooping into the restaurant like squadrons of helicopters with their headlights on. They flew around for about ten minutes. It was utterly wonderful and hypnotic. Sleep didn't seem to matter any more.

Hey jimbo. Hope it wasent a reaction from the local firewater that made these flys appear.I was there 15 years ago and it was a real eye opener.
Jimbo:
Hi Rilo - no! I spent a lot of time on Dominica, and I very quickly learned that rum punch is a form of anaesthetic!
