Welcome back! ;) Good to hear from you, and glad you found my new blog. Thank you for all the kind wishes. I WILL keep writing, believe me. I don't think I could stop if I wanted to. It's kind of like how I can't give up chocolate, either. Wotten! Welcome back! ;)

The time previously spent in on-line food & wine sections was diverted during the Hilary-Barack period and only just let up while the Democratic nominee is testing international waters. To be honest, I forgot just how well you write --- apart from the excellence of your reportorial skills --- this story whacked me upside my head and reminded me. I have such a yen for salmon at this moment! Thanks for not giving up your writing. Despite all that's going on in the world these days, I'll definitely return to touch bases with your chronicles ...

Well, you have to be pretty patient with the Wi-Fi in these parts. One of my fellow food writers on the trip tried to send one email from the sole Internet cafe in town. It took her an hour! But there's something to be said for a slower pace. It's kind of nice not to be plugged in and dialed in all the time. With more than half of our group of eight unable to use cell phones (no service), we did something we don't do nearly enough of these days: We spent time talking to each other face-to-face. Most of us had never met each other before landing in Cordova. By the end of the trip, we parted as great friends who promised to stay in touch. (OK, with all of us scattered across the country now, we might have to resort to email and cell phones to do THAT.) Hah! Well, you have to be pretty patient with the Wi-Fi in these parts.

And I love all the scenes of the calm silver like water. Is the water really so picturesque? Are you riding along on the salmon boats in the early morning? OK, so it doesn't sound like they have a lot of entertainment, but the big question is do they have wi-fi? ;-) Wow Food Gal, that looks like a really fascinating trip.
