I am fortunate to have traveled to many cities in the world. From Manila to Chicago, from Paris to Dubai, from Singapore to Cairo. Places that are my anchor, for the stories I tell. Stories that, in turn, lend meaning to these places. Not only mine, but also those of friends. our journeys, our journals.
Man caught smuggling iguana meat into the US from Mexico.
A man was caught smuggling the meat of 115 iguanas into the United States from Mexico, and was sentenced to two years in prison. Sounds to me like way too much time for the crime.
Iguana is a popular meat in Mexico and Central America.
I took the picture [above] a few years ago in El Salvador. It's a boy selling live iguanas for food by the side of the road. (That wad of cash in his hand is the $10 the kid talked me out of in exchange for allowing me to take his picture.)
