WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 22ND

Todays blog is dedicated to my kitty cat loving readers. ( I'm talking about you Kate and Cuzzin' Janice!)

We spent the night in a town called Catskill. We have noticed many towns, rivers and estates with the word "kill" in them. Found out it is the dutch word for creek. And it was the Dutch who settled this area.
So no, they didn't kill a bunch of cats here!

Now that we have that cleared up I want to share some photos of the local cats we saw as we walked up town for dinner. They were each incredible works of art and we stopped at every one to admire it.

The Yellow Submarine cat. George and Ringo were on the other side.

After touring the Culinary Institute the other day and a comment the guide made about learning about the use of various "species" of apples, we had a lively discussion on taxonomy. I thought they were "varieties." Anyway, this cat opens up a entire new discussion!

Oops. How'd he get in here?

And on the opposite side was this:

The Italian restaurant where we had dinner.

Our order of escargot. (hoping the snails didn't come from the river where the boat is!)
