Who doesn’t love a good food truck? 🙋‍♀️ We sure do 💕 We has a delish food-truck-feast last week in Hawaii...much better than our last experience in French Guiana!
Every night, at the Place des Palmiste in central Cayenne, there’s a giant food truck feast. We were SO excited to eat...and SO disappointed when we realized that 12/15 of the food trucks were serving the exact same food 🥺. The girls were most excited for the ice cream 🍦 until... (swipe left!).

As we sit on the tarmac waiting for the maintenance guy to come fix the de-icer (because it’s SO cold here right now it’s not working so we can’t take off 🛫😫🥶), I’m dreaming of the last time I was warm!!
The old colonial French architecture in Cayenne was one of my favourite things about the city. In some places it was incredibly well-preserved, while in other areas it was boarded up and being reclaimed by nature. Sometimes these both occurred on the same block!
If I had any inclination to live on French Guiana (definitely not...it’s TOO hot!), I’d love to get my hands on one of these and restore it to its former glory. I think it would be such a fulfilling project.

Okay, back to the plane de-icing...who even knows what it is? Who’s been on a plane that had to be de-iced? It’s a regular occurrence for us up here in the Great White North, but something tells me lots of people won’t even know what it is 🤣

Well it’s 2020, the (unofficial) year of the optometrist 🤓😎😂. So here’s my first ‘eye-related post’, without a joke because I’ve already heard too many bad 2020 jokes!! While out & about on a morning walk in Cayenne, Calais & I stumbled upon this great little piece of #streetartwork and the #optometrist in me couldn’t help but take a picture!
What do you think...would you paint your house pink and put a giant eye and rainbow 🌈 on it?!

I’m dreaming of Asia (as the temps plummet outside!)
Our good friends, who we were with in Vietnam this time 2 years ago, are off adventuring in Thailand...and we’re helping other friends plan a trip to Vietnam in February. It’s definitely got Asia on my mind!
We got close in November. We visited Cacao, a small Hmong settlement in French Guiana. There was a little Sunday market with Pho soup 🍜 for breakfast, sticky rice in banana leaves, and a variety of Hmong handicrafts (mostly from Thailand). By lucky 🍀 fluke it was their New Years celebration so we also got to enjoy dancing, food stalls and the girls dressed up in traditional clothes.
I’m not sure if it satiated my Asia-fix or made me want to go more!!
It was a bit odd though...being in a distinctly Vietnamese town, in France, in South America! 🤯
