North Bay Village, FL, USA - 11th September 2007
By: marina
Hello! Vince here. We've safely arrived today in North Bay Village, Florida after a smooth, speedy trip. We weren't the only ones--a little warthog came in the mail along with us. He looked a little scary and stunk of cigarette smoke, so I didn't let Vinnie get too close to him. The little warthog was promptly whisked away for a bath and we haven't seen him since, which is a bit of a relief (although we have heard him grunting from wherever he's been set to dry.)
We soon met Robito, along with his friends SaruMaru and Mocha, who are staying over at Robito's house too. Robito was a very good host and prepared a little welcome party for us. There were crackers, cheese, sausage,... Robito also treated us to an odd sort of Argentinian tea that we drank from a wooden gourd using a gold-plated straw of some kind. He said it was called "mate". We all shared the same gourd. I tried it, but didn't like it all that much, to be honest. Robito, on the other hand, loved it. He said one has to get used to the taste of it. The more he drank the faster he spoke. Seems that thing had a lot of caffeine!
I preferred to have some of the chocolate liquor that Robito offered me instead. Vinnie really wanted to try some too, but of course, I couldn't let him! He's much too little.
Afterwards Robito introduced us to one of the house cats, Stimpy. He seemed to like Vinnie.
Then it was time to go to bed. Seems Vinnie and I will be going to Aventura Mall tomorrow, which I've heard is soon to become one of the five largest shopping centers in the United States.
We're very excited! Better sleep well tonight...
