In the Race
Now, here, you see, it takes all the blogging I can do to keep in the same place.
If I want to get somewhere else, I must blog twice as fast as that!
You see, I'm in
the Red Queen's Race...
I'll Have One Grilled Rat, Please

No...I won't...
Maybe my brave daughter would have tried grilled rat though.
She travels all over the world in her job and has been to Vietnam.
The last time she was in Thailand there was a fruit called Durian, a whitish-green colored fruit about the size of a head of lettuce with spikes all over it.
It’s one of the biggest exports from the area.
But there are signs up all over the place saying it is banned from places like her hotel.
Why? It’s the smell.
It smells like rotting flesh with a touch of rotting onions and/or pungent cheese.
She was brave and did try it…she said it wasn’t too bad.
Are you a traveler?
If so, do you always try new foods when you are in a new country?
Or do you look for a McDonalds as soon as you get off of the plane?
