The golf course cats are still there, too. I usually do not photograph them when they are eating the food I leave for them, since I want them to eat in peace, but this one did not seem to mind:

The management team of our office (of which I am a part, kind of) went out for a pre-vacation lunch at one of our usual restaurants near the office, Capricho de Raquel.
