Cattle Crossing

Hola parnters from Roatan. Notice the mix of espanol and rancher lingo in my first sentence. Well there is a reason. As you can see from this picture in Roatan there is more to be aware of on the roads than just cruise ship folks on Scooters, Taxi drivers that stop in the middle of the road, or construction trucks loaded with workers hurring around.

We also have a few bovine friends out and about. The picture is of a Roatan traffic jam I experienced a week ago coming back from Palmetto Bay. Needless to say the cows have the right of way. There was no rancher around and I guess the whole heard just decided to move it on down the road.

I have also seen a cow right in front of our house on numerous occasions. Jazz starts barking the cow begins mooing and only the fence sepersates them. This cow cruises by 3 or 4 nights a week. Goes by our house and moves into the greener pasture down the road to eat before making her way back up to her normal pasture.

So why all of this cow talk. I don't make the news I just report it. On a similar subject Bob at the Blue Parrot has a filet mignon wrapped in bacon, your choise of potato and a real nice salad with crumbled up egg and bacon for $12. Add the coldest beer on the island at $1.25 each and its pretty reasonable. Cindy (mrs. market price) prefers the surf and turf for $14.
