When a snake bite somebody, you got to wrap them up in leaves, and smoke them on a spit over fire.
Welcome, Dear Reader, Traveller, Wanderer, Nature Lover, to ye former British colony, perched at the top of South America.
The Brits fled, leaving behind a motley group of own-way, hard-ears...that is, stubborn...people. These locals, after decades of squabbling and making up, are learning to live together in a somewhat modern environment.
Follow our nosy explorer as she examines, shares bit and pieces of thoughts, musings, about this wrangle-tangle modern landscape with her stoic mother who's seen it all, from colonialism to independence, dictatorship to freedom. On the surface, there's nothing to behold...until our intrepid people-watcher gazes upon her fellow citizens with new eyes. She learns also to appreciate the beauty of nothing.
Reader, Traveller, Wanderer, Nature Lover, you will see people, snakes, knives, death, lives, in ways you've never done before; you might even find yourself peering curiously into your own surroundings after trekking through these pages.
Happy travails. And travels.
