vacation pics

Finally and at last I am back! I had a great time with Leah last week.The weather was cold and I wore my sweater to go outside. Leah only had to shovel the deck once for me due to the snow that scares me and blocks my path to the rocks to do my business.
Motch and PA were in Puerto Rico where they didn't have to wear sweaters or shovel snow.They drove all around the island, up and down and through the mountains.One of the roads led them to a coffee farm where they spent time walking through the coffee plants and learning how coffee grows. Aren't the red cherries pretty? This is how they look when they're ready to be picked.
This is Kurt, who owns the coffee farm. He also grows bananas and oranges, and he gave Motch a cinnamon banana. I wish I could have been there to try one.
Each town they drove through had a square and this is the one in Ponce.Dogs were everywhere in Puerto Rico. They didn't have to wear collars and made themselves at home wherever they went (in the restaurants, on the streets, in the stores, on the farms and in the squares).
Motch's favorite food was rice and beans. She liked tostones, too, which are green bananas (called plantains) that are smashed and deep fried. They kind of taste like french fries. Yum!

Too bad she didn't bring any good food home for me. When she got back, her mind was still on vacation. Can you believe she had the audacity to dish up my food and put in on the floor? Yes -- the floor.

I prefer dining on the coffee counter, thank you!
