Weekend Roundup -- 04-18 (for letter "D")
Weekend Roundup

(1) Starts with "D": Dinosaur and Dragon start with "D". We found this little fellow at Puntarenas, our seaport in Costa Rica.

Our itinerary is pictured below with "Details"
Actually it is a friendly Iguana that roams the streets in town. We saw two, both were in the grass over by our ship. We did not go on an excursion here, we had done that before, an afternoon trip into the rain forest.

Our favorite stop was at the Falkland Islands where we took a trip through the marshes out to the Penguin Preserve. It was wonderful, a 31 day trip. We had a balcony, it was needed to keep from feeling cooped up. (Pictures 1)(Pictures 2)(Google Pictures)
(3) Details: Details of our 31 day cruise are summarized (can you summarize details? Oxymoron?) by reading our Itinerary in conjunction with viewing the accompanying maps.
4.a. Lagniappe: Datsun pickup. I had two Datsun pickups similar to this one. One was a 1973 and the other a blue 1975. I drove them to work and when I got the '75 I gave the '73 to my Daughter, Susie. Later I obtained the grill from the '73 and have it hanging in the garage. 4.b. Lagniappe: Datsun emblem (Starts with "D". It was found at http://www.car-logos.net/
4.c. Lagniappe: Donuguan. That food was on this sign in front of a restaurant up the street. All I know is that it should be Filipino Food as the sign says.
According to Wikipedia (read more), "Dinuguan is a Filipino savory stew of pork offal (typically lungs, kidneys, intestines, ears, heart and snout) and/or meat simmered in a rich, spicy dark gravy of pig blood, garlic, chili (most often siling mahaba), and vinegar ..." We might call it "blood stew."

Nice Roundup "D" stories and photos, Jim! I especially like the link to the Penguin Preserve! I would love to see them.
...Jim, what a 'D'lightful and informative post. That Iguana sure looks like a 'D'inosaur or 'D'ragon. Now, the Crown Princess is a floating city and "D'oesn't 'D'onuguan sound inviting. I have always liked the name 'D'atsun better have Nisson. Thanks my friend for stopping by, I hope to see you next week.
What a lovely vacation. We used to love to travel, but now it's pretty much to the boat and back. Home does it for us and here or the boat is home.
Have a fabulous day, Jim. ☺
Have a fabulous day, Jim. ☺
Jim Thattrip on the large cruise ship musst have been amazing. How I would love to do that. A fabuous full post to Delight everyone. Have a wonderful weekend.
Wow! That was quite the cruise. 31 days! Did it take you long to get used to being on dry land again. Lots of good details for the Roundup!
I love your iguana friend - what a fabulous creature. I would also like to visit the penguin preserve. I do not think I would like to do it on a cruise ship though. I am a very quiet and introverted person, so being on a cruise ship with all those people would be very distressing for me. I would hide in my room all the time, or try to find the place with the least number of people. Maybe I could deal with the cruise ship experience if I got to see a penguin as a result. I'm not sure!
