blog suspended

Note to all my avid readers (approximately all three of you), I am off to the north of Argentina tonight with Cait (the desert strewn Salta/Jujuy region, in the Northeast near Bolivia). The blog will be on hiatus for about a week, but I just had to share some fun photos and a hilarious passage out of the book I'm reading..."White Teeth" by Zadie Smith (A Caridad Clark rec).

Preface: a conversation between a Muslim and Christian, both English patriots who fought in the first world war:

"I'm a Muslim," said Samad, pushing a plate of pork away. "And my Rita Hayworth leaves me only with my own soul."
"Why don't don't you eat it?" said Archie, guzzling his two chops down like a madman. "Strange business if you ask me."
"I don't eat it for the same reason you as an Englishman will never truly satisfy a woman."
"Why's that?" said Archie, pausing from his feast.
"It's in our cultures, my friend...maybe deeper, maybe in our bones."
