Noumea-Bread and Chocolate

 New York and I have decided to see other people- I Love (French)Bread too   Charles de Gaulle said  "How can you govern a country which has two hundred and forty-six varieties of cheese ?"  but when it comes to bread everyone in France, and even its loyalty   islands like Noumea agree-there’s only one, Baguette, We call it French Bread, but all the bread in Nouvelle-Calédonie is French .    Sure the whiter the bread, the quicker you’re dead, but there is this thing called the French Paradox-basically you have a grace period for your entire life where you can drink,eat smoke whatever and whenever you like, and then one day, you die peacefully in your sleep at the age of eighty-to ninety something.      Pig Farming In The Tropics (Fiji)  The D word-diets are like airplanes- I don't like to be on them-so I have been eating less  and enjoying it more.  I have even began eating Ham and Eggs--: a days work for a chicken; a life time com...

Isle Of Pines- See Food Diet

 The archipelago located in the South Pacific known as New Caledonia is part of the "confetti" of the French colonial empire. What a great day today.  “I wish I could tell you about the South Pacific. The way it actually was. The endless ocean. The infinite specks of coral we called islands. Coconut palms nodding gracefully toward the ocean. Reefs upon which waves broke into spray, and inner lagoons, lovely beyond description. I wish I could tell you about the sweating jungle, the full moon rising behind the volcanoes, and the waiting. The waiting. The timeless, repetitive waiting.”" Tales of the South Pacific" by James A. Michener  Powder---The Book is better than the movie but a picture is worth a 1000 words.   Me And My Shadow 'coulda had a V8'   Got Wood?

New Caledonia- French Post Cards From the Edge

I always talk in Bumper Stickers-Instant gratification takes too long    Tender Boating       Escape to Reality  You know, addiction isn't the problem - it's the solution- When all you care about is here, this is a good   place to be  “Addicted to traveling”   or for that matter “Addicted to all-non working activities” shouldn’t be   a new reason for self-hatred or a diagnosis, rather a pursuit like the arts and entertainment, that permit self-exploration and satisfy your psycho-social needs.   You see, in general, if a pastime is not classy, those who love it are labeled with the Dr Phil-Drew-Oprah Psycho Babble rhetoric of “addict.” Opera and Symphony   aficionados, on the other hand   are “passionate” and "driven".   Loading the cultural dice in favor of “reality” over fantasy, we get the sense of     adventure beaten out of us when we ask ourselves the most irritating of the question words, “Why?” ...
