Very cool, thanks!
Tupa
ok I did it. I marked exactly the corner of the terrace where the lizard was taking the sun.

Double check the location on your map, see if you get it closer to where you saw it :)
Tupa
yes I was there!
peter
Were you on Sugar Loaf mountain when you saw this guy? That's where I saw mine too. You've got the position marked on a sidewalk in Rio, but this looks like it was taken up on a mountain somewhere.
