Chris took this while we were at the home of our friend and fellow PCT, Mason. I'm looking at the beautiful view out his front door.

Also at Mason's house. (All four are at his house, actually)

Su perro favorito. (Sorry, Chris, I can't remember her name )

Mas animales. Gallos. I don't know how it is at Chris's house, but my neighbors have a rooster who thinks the moon is the sun...

The view from Chris's house. Que linda!

Cannot for the life of me remember the name of this fruit, but inside is a little orange round fruit (marble sized). Sour. Tasty
