Fred (Aruba)

Enter from stage left, Fred. He’s a new stray cat that showed up on my patio last week. He’s a bit skittish, but not afraid to pull a caper on Tux, the other stray cat, who’s been around for several years. Fred sneaks in while Tux is asleep on a perch in a corner. Fred proceeds to munch on Tux’s food than darts away. Here’s a pic of Fred, the caper cat:

Clearly, Fred is related to Tux: brother, cousin, both? Not sure, but he’s a cool cat and will be well-treated here.

Cupcakes in Aruba

Who doesn’t love cupcakes? They’ve been gaining in popularity in the USA for years now, with cupcake trucks on the streets of NYC and shops opening up most everywhere. There’s now a place at the Paseo Herencia mall in Aruba, which means I can not escape one of my favorite things. Take a look.

Very nice lady working there. I plan on returning to make one of my short videos. Can’t resist the cupcakes, after all. Here’s a look at the current menu board for some selection deliberation.

Those sweets are sure to cheer you up. Enjoy it all in Aruba and wherever you are. Bon dia.

(un) Lucky Fish, Zeerover, Aruba

I stopped into Zeerover yesterday looking for some friends. In the well, I found some fish on the slab ready for the filet knife. Check them out:

In a matter of minutes, these fished were sliced into pieces. The crabs, pelicans, and one happy cat were feasting on the remnants. Of course, the crowd was thrilled, too. Doesn’t get any fresher than that. Enjoy your visit to Aruba, and check out places like this for a visit to the Caribbean as it always was, and still is.
