oh yeah, life goes on… i just love that Jack and diane number. last day on the caye. incredible time here. had a great time with my hotel neighbor Simone and her friend rose from belgium over wish willy dinner on sunday night… big big big storm that night… was a little scared (tidal wave phobia I have yet to reconcile)… yesterday, all my plans went out the window when I happened to meet the middle agers Charly and Ron Boyd from Boston and Pennsylvania respectively. charly helps set up alternative schools all over the country (like Montesorri but even more out there) and Ron’s a musician. they were a hilarious duo, friends for 35 years, polar opposites, great story tellers. I ended up chatting with them all day and they joined Simone and I for dinner. Wish Willy, the restaurant I’ve eaten 3 out of my 7 meals on the caye at, is indescribable. Maurice the owner, was very accomodating to my vegan ways (the restaurant is ominivore, and from what I hear, the animal carcass is amazing also). He grilled up the best veggie platter I have ever had, hands down. I got his email so that he can let me in on his spice secrets. usually I can pick out spices fairly well (at least the ones I cook with most often: cumin, red pepper, tumeric, curry, dill, garlic, ginger, poppy, fennel), but this guy had me stumped (though I;m sure you would’ve deciphered it sister)… the only one I got was ginger, because the little sticks of it were staring me in the face. I’m really gonna miss this place and plan to bring ALL loved ones here, hopefully soon.
