by Peter Allison. He writes humorous, easy to read stories about the people he meets in Africa, the tourists he guides, and the wildlife he loves. I definitely recommend this book for anyone with an interest in travel, and in particular, African wildlife.
Riding her bike through Cuba, the author meets a wide variety of characters and through her descriptions, makes you feel like you met them, too. She is a talented writer and her story is actually making me consider a biking trip of my own. I can't imagine a better way to meet the locals.I also tried reading No Touch Monkey!: And Other Travel Lessons Learned Too Late
by Ayun Halliday, but I couldn't make myself finish the book. The same thing happened last summer when I tried to read Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia.
I'm trying to follow the saying "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all", but you can get an idea of my opinions if you read the negative reviews for Eat Pray Love and No Touch Monkey on Amazon.com.

I live in Hawaii, and some people eat, Cat,Dog,Chicken Feet, and other stuff. I have more or less kept my mainland tastes except for an encressed love for Asian Food/Hawaian Food. Yes I lump to geather as Asian because they are all very much the same. The taste is different and the spice level way different and the style verys. Most of the good working class ones have Strong American Menus as well. For the picky person in your party or the child that will not eat anything but burger and fries. When I go downtown I love to see Tourist look at the Local Plate Lunch Shops and heading stright for McDonalds. At McDonalds in Hawaii you can get Rice and Eggs and Portagee Sausage or Spam for Breakfast. You can't get a Loco Moco at least not yet.Males go to Forgin Countrys all the time for relationships with the local females, some very young. We did not raise the age on consent from 14 with no upper age limit. To 16 with a 5 year spread till 2001. Enforcement is still spottie. As some of the local cultures believe in early self determanation. Hawaii used to be a stop on the road to Asia. So I guess a Female can tour the world and be easy if she wants to be but I am not reading her book.
