This is my friend Noddy Pascal Mzee (or Noddy Mzee for short). We just had a group vote at the bar to figure out his name. Noddy derives from a garden gnome tv show in England and Ireland (according to Gina and Lucia, 2 fine Irish lasses), Pascal is because Catherine wanted a french name and Mzee is the Swahili word for 'old man' according to Cathy, our resident Swahili expert. He will be my travel companion in Mexico, and I look forward to all the time we will spend together. Keep your eyes peeled for Noddy Mzee the Mexican garden gnome in pictures to come...
