Good golly, you're English. I shoulda known when I saw the word learnt. I'm not that well acqauinted with everyone here yet. I assumed you were Spanish and learned English style English, not American English.
I lived in Dusseldorf, Germany for a couple years and embarassed myself to no end with my awkward Deutsch. But, DANG! German is an AWKWARD language anyway no matter how well you speak it. I don't care what anybody says! Hehehehehe.
Now, I have never been to Spain. I had hoped to visit there some day and France, but I'll never set foot in France, there's no way, and Spain, I just haven't gotten around to yet. And, unfortunately, all my travels ceased after 9/11. I just don't have any desire to get on a plane anymore.
So you've got those wicked centipedes! I know the ones you mean! Some folks 'round these parts keep them as pets. Yuk. Some of those other serious critters you mentioned don't fit into my impressionist view of Europe.
:D
I don't really have any pictures of our wildlife. Mostly they come out at night.
I've kicked myself for not carrying my camera around with me, but I spied a Bald Eagle (out national bird) sitting atop a tree by a field and I didn't have my camera. The thing was huge.
Then the other time, I was driving in and about our Eastern Shore of our state when a wild turkey (huge) stepped out of the field to the side of the road. And me without my camera again ...
But, I'd love to see more pictures of your lovely place.
