Hey, Diary! My name is Lupe LaPico (Lupe The Beak for you English-speakers). Anyway, my friend O'Rita passed you on to me so that I could keep a chronicle of my adventures with my love, Abdul. In case you didn't know, Abdul is a camel and he is an ordained minister. He married my friends, O'Rita and Cosmo. We are going on a trip around the world, and I'm going to keep you informed every step of the way. Get ready diary! We're in for an adventure! First stop... |
OK, Diary. OH MY GOSH! Diary, you won't believe it! It was amazing! Horacio doesn't know what HIT HIM! Of course, Abdul and I stopped and enlisted the help of our friends, Alejandra and Ignacio. Fortunately, Ignacio has branched out, and had access to a cargo plane/pontoon boat combo. Here's what happened: Abdul and I swooped in under the cover of night, and we flew right into the chicken coop on Fatima. Of course, this caused a bit of a stir, but soon the clucking stopped and the chickens listened to us as we explained the plan. About an hour later, we heard the sound of an airplane approaching, and everyone tensed to make a move. Suddenly, the lights flashed on in the house! We were all frozen! Had I come back just to die at Horacio's hands??? We all watched the house in anticipation, and saw Horacio's shadow walking down the hall. He stepped into the bathroom, and we all released a cluck of relief. I looked up in the sky, and I have to say that that burro behind the wheel of that plane was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen! Ignacio swooped down into the pond, as discussed, and we clucked our way out of the hen house. I guided the chickens onto the plane, and then went back to make sure that they were all out of the hen house. As I walked out of the hen house to tell the plane to take off, HORACIO walked into the pen. I started clucking, and acting like I belonged there. He stormed past me into the hen house, and Abdul swept down on Fatima, scooped me up, and away we flew! We are a few miles behind Ignacio, Alejandra, and the rest of the chickens. I can't wait to land and see their faces now that they are free! Ah, what an exhilerating experience! Cluck, Lupe |
Diary! What a LONG day. We had to get our passports to travel out of the US, and boy was it difficult! I hated every picture they took of me - I looked too pale, and my beak looked washed out. Finally, they took one that was HALF decent (I still don't think it looks like me, though). Abdul already has his passport, of course, so there was no worry for him... So, Ignacio and Alejandra are in the line waiting to get theirs, and once they do, we can be off! Fatima has been reconfigured for four of us (it's amazing what that carpet can do!). Abdul just rolls her up, whispers something to her, and when she is unrolled, she is different! She's now about the size of an area rug for a hotel lobby, so we'll have plenty of room to relax on our long trip. Don't tell Abdul, but I snuck out this morning for a little bit of shopping, and I bought my first BIKINI! It's so cute! Yellow with white daisies all over it... It's a thong, too! Abdul will go NUTS over it! I can hardly wait! I did buy a sarong to go over it in case Ignacio and Alejandra are offended by it, but I hope they're not prudish! This could be so much fun, if they're just willing to let their manes down a little. Anyway, I got a few other things when I went shopping, but I don't have time to write now. Ignacio and Alejandra are coming toward us, and from the smiles on their heads, I believe we're all cleared to get going! More later! Lupe P.S. On a sad note, I read that Rosa Parks passed away last night. She is truly one of my heroes, and a great woman of history. Her mark will be felt forever on this world, and I know she is in a better place. |
Hey, Diary! After looking around, we decided that we wanted to change our reservations, and found this beautiful oceanfront Sheraton Barra Hotel & Suites. It's right on Barra da Tijuca Beach! When we checked in, we met this beautiful Macaw Parrot named Anapaulalana, and she has agreed to show us around. Tonight we're going to a street festival with dancing and drinking, and I'm sure more devilish delights will follow. Lana told us to meet her at 11:00 p.m. to go to the festival, so we're going to take a nap, do some shopping, and get something to eat. Abdul is calling me from the jacuzzi in our room, so I've got to go "relax" before the festivities tonight! Love, Lupe |
