Sat, 30 Jan
Madi was up at 5am feeding the cats before she left or Mexico ... Eddi and i could have done it, ..... but ... we did finish up and Madi left with her mother. Eddi and i spent several hours going over the 6 page document that i spent 4 hours on one night outlining the Feeding Procedures. having finished that, we went to the internet cafe and had them print it out for us. we now have a document to follow! this document would will make it MUCH easier for the next volunteers ... too bad i didn't have it when i got here
i needed to get some meds at the pharmacy for the cats and pick up some cat food that was supposed to arrive at 11:30 on the water taxi. while i was at the water taxi dock i saw a poster about a Bonfire at The Split for tonight's Full Moon, ... a possibility for Eddi and i. the cat food didn't arrive ....and the pharmacy was closed for 'siesta' or something :)
it was hot and sunny, so i came home, put on my suit and went to The Split. it was one of the most beautiful days here, full blue ski, no clouds, and little wind ... would have been a great day to dive :(
i got bored swimiming and sitting in the sun, . .... gosh ... does that sound like me ????? so i got some shrimps from the Shrimp Man, then Eddi came and we headed back for the evening feeding.
Here are some more pictures of the cats:
This is a group from the Kitty Kat Lounge that were waiting by the door to come in for their evening feeding, ...how many cats do you count ?
This is Munchkins ... doesn't he just have a face like you've never seen before? not sure what's with his ears, but he sure looks sweet.
This is a cat from across the street. Madi feeds 13 cats there. Punkin, he was wild, has been trapped, neutered, and released. he doesn't 'live' at Madi's ... but he's always in the yard and on the porch, putting in his time, hoping someday to be accepted. Another great cat that would sit on your lap for hours and purr. Who could refuse?
This is Snowy ... a beauty, isn't she ?
by the time we finished with the cats, the clouds had started rolling. so we only had a few minutes of the full moon in all it's glory.
... so we walked slowly to The Split.
when i was in San Pedro in December, i noticed that after school, young boys walk the streets with baskets, selling baked goods or jewelry that their mother's have made. none of them are pushy, they just ask, with those beautiful eyes and beautiful young faces. sometimes they don't even say anything, just show you what they have. if you say no, they quietly go away. it's not like in Mexico where they hound you to death. their approach works much better, how can you refuse those sweet faces? .... plus the food is always unusual and very good. we got to know Julian ... he was a beautiful boy, ... thoses eyes! we saw him tonight, so i asked if i could take his picture. his brother was with him. they were kind of embarrassed and were excited when i told them i would post their picture on the internet. so, Julian, ... here it is.
there was a bonfire at The Split, a big one, but no one was around it. there were a 'few' people at the bar ... but it was early... for most partiers. they had 2 for 1 Happy Hour ... we each had 4 Panty Rippers :) we met another nice local guy, that lives on the north end of the island across The Split .... he just takes his boat across to the bar. we enjoyed talking with him ... 4 Panty Rippers were enough and we went home early.
