The Wheel is turning and he can't slow down.
Just received a fax about an upcoming wine tasting. Not so unusual. Oh, except for the fact that it originated from somewhere up the Maroni River in French Guiana. The man can not stop working. I can just picture his eyes bugging out when he spied a little fax machine behind some counter in some out of the way restaurant. "Hey, can I send a few messages out? I just have a little business to take care of."
Anyway, included in the message was some news of the trip which I'll reprint here:
"Today we're on the Maroni River fishing for piranha. For dinner last night we ate grilled capybaras (a large river rat that tastes sweeter than pork), roasted wild yams, and anaconda fricassee with kidney beans.
Looking forward to returning to NY, and eating some pizza."

have to say i'm disapointed with the food so far, most restaurants are empty so i avoid, not that anything on the menu brings me in, dont want to do anything against nature but its sadening that all wild game is off limits recently to non indiginous indians, i was hoping for rodents and wild pig etc to be here, oh well, but even the fruit is a bummer and the market is boaring, maybe the feast of the patron saint on the river village next week will show some more wild stuff (all hotels have been sold out for months), and the jungle trip will provide some fresh interesting fish....
