Postcards from Cozumel #4

The hard part about being on vacation is not being in the company of my animals.

One must seek out suitable substitutes whenever an opportunity presents itself,
even if it means looking like a dork on a public street in front of an artisanal chocolate factory 
while waiting for the tour to begin.



The security guard checked us out.



I gave her the secret password and we were allowed in.



Such a friendly, funny feline, and it turns out we have something in common.



Her name is Leeen-da.

  2. Leen-da is a gorgeous cat! She looks like a Hemingway cat with six toes, does she also have that claim to fame?

    Cheers,

  6. You have just dredged up a buried memory of mine! In college I volunteered a couple of summers with international exchange students, and our director's name was Linda. All the Spanish-speaking students thought it was adorable, and since she was rather short it seemed fitting. "Leee-nda, Leee-nda" followed her around for two weeks of the program.

  7. Love it! Not a word about what kind of tour you went on. And how funny that you ran into a cat named Leen-da. She is muy bonita.

    I only recognized you in that first shot because of the blue toenails. :oD

  11. Leeen-da looks as if she is very proud of herself and the job that she does. Look at the way she holds herself so erect, back strong, chin up.
    She might even be just a little too full of herself. Did she speak any English?

  13. Wonder what happened to the top of her left ear? She's a beauty though, and knows it. :)
