Driving Hungry



I came across Layne Mosler's work in Best womens travel writing vol 8  by Lavinia Spalding
Mango butter

The idea of taking dining tips from cabbies is interesting. The Cabbies in all the three different places that the author has been display a good understanding of how their nations/cities work. The author has a way of expressing herself with sentences like my emergency contact is millions of miles away.
The Buenos Aires section is well put together. But after her disenchantment with that place, it never again reaches that peak with her subsequent adventures in new places. If Buenos Aires was her astronomical moon flight, then every other attempt dims out in comparision.
Perfect as travel anthology essays.

 "The future never has the nerve to be the present completely without first trying things out, and that trying things out is hope" - Borges, "The Full extent of Hope" essay.
