Translations into English are always funny. We visited a very elegant restaurant that had a menu with English subtitles. I definitely needed it because the menu was so sophisticated and my Spanish food vocabulary is pretty limited. One dish in particular caught my eye. I don't remember what it was but it was topped with a sauce in a pineapple "spherification". Is this a word anyone has heard before? I don't know if this is a real word but I'm definitely incorporating it into my vocabulary! I'm already trying to work it into conversation as much as possible. :) Really!
Robert and I bought a Spanish children's book for the kids to read. The store had a selection of books about the animals of Peru. This particular book is titled El Puma de los Andinos. (The Puma of the Andes.) It's an illustrated cartoonish children's book with lots of neat facts about Pumas. On one page they inform the children that Pumas in the United States are called Cougar Mountains. I was confused when I read this but Robert and I had a good laugh when we realized they were joining two names together.... Cougars and Mountain Lions. I have to go pick up the other books in the series just for some more comic fun.

COUGAR MOUNTAINS - I love it.
I will be checking in often to see what you are up to.
Sounds like a wonderful adventure already.
