The cat and the mice
Alright, so Celeste wanted to know the story behind the cat and the mice, so here it is.
It is pretty simple, a guy wanted to make some money without working so he hangs out with a cat who likes mice. I met a guy like him in Key West many years ago. Only that guy walked around with a Rottweiler with a cat sitting on top of him with a mouse sitting on top of the cat. I spoke with him and he said it was just a matter of training the animals. Now because I didn't speak Italian I was unable to ask what was up with this cat and mice. Were the mice orphaned at the same time the cat's kitties died and they have now bonded? Maybe! Did the Italian man drug the animals? Maybe! Were they battery operated animals and just looked real? Maybe!
Oh, the guy I mentioned earlier was on CNN a few weeks after we saw him in Key West only he had moved on to Denver.

The islands
We made it to the canary islands. After an hour and 15 minute flight from Barcelona to Madrid then a 2 hour and 45 flight on to the island. We are staying at a fancy quaint hotel. Our room is small with 2 twin beds and a cute little balcony. The room looks very European. That might have something to do with the fact that we are indeed in Europe. This island belongs to Spain but is closest to Africa. They said that it is very warm and dry because of the winds that come over from Africa. Kind of cool huh?
Hopefully I will get around to posting pictures later.
