Small and Would-Be Humans

This is a photographic tour of the small and would-be humans of our trip. The kingpin, Victor (pronounced "veto"- at least, I think), is Beto's 10 year nephew who adopted the Nintendo DS we brought him as an extra appendage. Super smart kid, destined to rule the world in no time, provided we can tear him away from Super Mario Brothers.





Victor's occasional side-kick and protector of all things ground-level, is Tag, the pug. Friend to all except the Kitty Mafia, Tag is one seriously cute, loud, snorting, snoring dog. Seriously, how could you ever say no to this face?



What is the Kitty Mafia, you ask? It's a conglomerate of kitty familes from around the beachhouse, with representatives from each variety... Here's a pic of one of the thugs, preparing to cap Tag in pursuit of some red meat...


And here's a top secret meeting among two warring families, to divide up the front decks.


The little furballs below are friends and family - the first is Beto's aunt's 3 month old puppy, Nicky, named after a racecar driver... appropriately so. The second is Toy, dog of Beto's friend Helder.
