South Of The Border Surprise

Thank you so much! I wish the same for you and your family and friends, and my two dogs, Maggie and Cassie, wish the same for yours, as well! :-)))

I wish you and your whole family a beautiful new year full of joy , health and happiness and thank you for your help in Jigidi and all have a very nice ,wish also both my dogs

I'll do my best! :-))) Thanks, Katie!

Oh, this one is fun! I would be very happy to see Emilio again!

Ah, good--a pleasant , safe, happy surprise, with nothing devious or dastardly or duplicitous--how unusual! LOL! Maybe I'll find some other ways to incorporate Emilio in my puzzles, so he will have more than the standard 15 minutes of fame...!

Thanks, Mandy and Lela!

Yes, that's what I saw - the sombrero seen from above....I suppose the surprise is that Emilio is under it....somewhere!.........

My first thought was that this is a sombrero, so if Emilio is napping he's well hidden under its bright and beautiful rim. I think the suprise will be when he wakes up and finds out he's now famous on Jigidi!!! Love this, thanks Pat.

I took night classes in Spanish at a local high school about 12 years ago. I could count into the thousands, tell you the date and time, and say hello and goodbye, and that's about it. Why do they start with numbers and months and such? If you meet someone socially who speaks Spanish, are you really going to ask him the date, or get into a discussion about counting?!

Hmmm....My Google translation was "Emilio napping seen from above"....... But then I'm afraid to imagine what the surprise is, if that connects to my title... One never knows with this crew! :-)))

Thanks, everyone!

Other languages? Oke Pat deze puzzel is prachtig. (this puzzle is splendid)

Lela - and ... ji-ji a usted - (assuming Google translator correct).
Pat, great job. (2:30)

"Emilio echandose la siesta, visto desde arriba".............(Hee-Hee!).......

Si, Pat, un puzzle muy divertido!
Ok, I think it's fun to use other languages, and your puzzle was very fun!

It's no surprise this is a wonderful loony.

Si, Senora. Es muy bonito. That about used up my Spanish vocabulary. LOL The central part reminds me of those inserts for 45 rpm records. Remember those? Thanks, Pat. This was fun.
