  Yes! It was like an oasis in the middle of the desert because Sal is a very desertic island, mostly sand dunes. Many species in the garden are not Cabo Verde natives but they seem to be happy with the dry warm weather. And the birdies looked healthy and well taken care of which was nice to see :-) Posted one year ago
