Having Loads Of Fun

Jugo de MORA!

Went to grab more of those wild blackberries growing on the hill by the house:









And made BLACKBERRY JUICE for the first time!


Blackberries are so expensive in this country that I thought I'd never be able to drink this here! I love living here!

Some jugo de mora with McDonald's :) Breakfast of champions! (err.. dinner..)

It came out scrumsheliciousus!

This weekend Brock

and I


Went to Green Leaf, the Vietnamese restaurant we LOVE. But I forgot to take a picture of the deliciousness because as soon as it got to the table, it was devoured almost without stopping to breathe it was so DAMN GOOD.

Then we saw these treasures on the Chinese shop next door:

Brock and I are both "SC?RPIO"

And right next to it, his and my Chinese horoscope signs:

No wonder I've always called him monkey!
