Aka “Yoin us!”
Shannon already posted about it so my blog entry about our Cuba trip will be slightly different:
I loved it there. It’s nothing like Mexico, but it’s beautiful-tropical and lush. We met lots of animals, including goats, kitties, dogs, chickens, ducks, geese, lizards and millions-nay, billions-of mosquitos. If you do go, pack bug spray and use it liberally.
That lady dog is not dead, she’s resting. It’s hot in Cuba and there seem to be millions of these funny little dogs, terrier sort of things with stubby legs. This gal was taller than most and had a proper tail, which is also rare. The lizard is a blue anole, they’re everywhere. The kitties are all from the resort, a feral bunch who know how to use the little fellas to win over resort-goers hearts and food. Despite the signs asking people to not feed them. They’re a pack of skinnies and one morning I found out what they eat other than buffet-lizards. Yum.
Everywhere you drive in Cuba are roadside signs promoting government…business.
Seriously, I had so much fun. Thanks a million to Shannon, Saira and Michael. It’s weird that I will forever associate this lovely country with the death of MJ.
Havn’t read Shannon’s update yet, but SO glad you had such a good time- you totally deserve it!
xo.
haha. when i heard THE NEWS i was actually like hmmm i wonder how much longer – if at all – it will take you two to FIND OUT.
Wondering if Cuban goats MAAAA differently than Bruce County goats.
Nicole-thanks, we had a super time.
Ashleigh-stop being so CRYPTIC. Oh, unless you mean Michael?
Ashley-yeah, they do. They speak goat! And it’s the only word goats seem to know, MAMA!
Wow, it seems like those cats have really cutely wide noses! Especially that black and white one, but maybe it’s just me.
Lots of the kitties appeared to be part Siamese-and sounded it too, with long noses, big ears and skinny tails. Some were not so pretty, like that black and white (and pink all over) kitty-a male-who had multiple wounds on his head and neck. He was kind of gross, truth be told. I think his face may have just been swollen?
