The Turtle Returns

A few weeks ago you might remember when I posted about a turtle at one of the restaurants that we go to. Lunching With A Turtle . Well, a couple of days ago we returned to the restaurant and the first thing the fellow told us when we walked through the door was that the turtle was back and having his lunch. We wandered over to see him and to say hello. The turtle didn't seem too impressed with seeing us again and continued eating his lunch. We watched him for a bit and then went and sat down to eat our own meal.


Normally the skies here are clear and bright blue, and that is what it was like the other day. I just happened to look out and see this big cloud rising over the mountain. Looked very odd in the middle of all that bright blue sky.

Lunching With A Turtle

Yesterday we went for lunch at La Barca restaurant on Calle 9. We were just sitting and talking waiting for our lunch when I heard a scraping sound. I looked over to the double doors that lead to their inside room and there was a turtle just making his way outside into the sun. We just laughed. The owner came over and told us that he appears every 15 days to eat. He comes out and goes straight to the kitchen to be fed. They brought out his lettuce and a dish of milk and he began to eat. He sure gobbled it down quickly. A strange lunchtime companion.

Here's a couple of pictures of him and a little video.
