oh my packs of cats and goats............that's a whole OTHER issue.

in early years of my travels to aruba we'd have to apply the brakes and sometimes actually sit and cut the engine due to herds of goats and donkeys blocking the road. seriously!

In fact, we went back a few nights later just to get directions to go somewhere else because we were lost and wanted to try different restaurants nearby, and the owners were nice enough to help us get somewhere else. unfortunately, we should have stayed at Gasparito as we were almost truthfully attacked by a pack of dogs. The owner advised us not to walk on our own, but we didn't listen. anyway, it was our favorite restaurant from our trip, and we cherish the two paintings we bought there as well."

This was one example of what I read while looking through restaurant reviews.
I feel a lot more comfortable after getting your feedback...thanks so much.
You can see that this quote would be a bit concerning to someone who has never been a dog person. Of course I'd be a bit concerned had I read that packs of cats were attacking people as well! Or goats....or donkeys...or lions and tigers and bears...Oh My!
