i had to look twice for the monkey prowling on the rooftop as its coloring blended so well with the roof’s and camouflaged it.

Exactly the same we had during our visit. I hope they had boerwurst on the breakfast menu. I found the taste interesting.

My mom would love all of those fruits while I will make a beeline for the cold cuts and cheese. This post reminds me of a wonderful breakfast spread we had in Austria where I tasted one of the most delicious breads I ever. It had pumpkin seeds, walnuts, etc.

This topic on breakfasts and wildlife reminds me of my breakfast in Rome two weeks ago. It was a roofdeck buffet, and I had set my coffee, croissant and cold cuts on our table. I go back to get other stuff when an excited guest runs to tell me that a giant bird had upset our table.

It was a big seagull, and he was really aggressive, coming back repeatedly. Ordinary shooing didn’t deter him. The staff had to pretend to whack him.

Oops, yes, Footloose. It is maracuja. Sorry, a visual field loss and at 2 AM, just gotten out of bed pining for the mousse:) And I did not even have guavas! I had a first taste when a Brazilian friend made it for us on a visit to Rio.

@ConnieC, where is it from? They are called maracujà in Brazil.

The macuja (passion fruit mousse) is what I am passionate about. Sometimes when I do not want to discard syrup drained from fruits from the can, I mix it with some passion fruit juice. In the right dilution I get a refreshing novel cocktail juice ( no alcohol) and is a penny saver as a party drink instead of soda.
