We had a wonderful table that overhung the river and we could watch people floating down the river on brightly colored tubes. Blue On the way back to the lodge we stopped to try our hand sifting through buckets of gem laden sand looking for jewels - rubies, sapphires, emeralds. Back at the lodge we all had another go around with the 3-D picture. Sunday afternoon, Joan and Chris left to visit a friend of Joan's. On the way we stopped to get some boiled peanuts, a southern delicacy.
Boiled peanuts are just that, peanuts that are boiled.
People boil them in large vats over an open wood fire. He had on faded jeans and a t-shirt and ambled over as we hopped out of the car. He opened the boiling pot, scooped out a ladle of soggy shelled peanuts and put them in a plastic bag. He scooped out a few peanuts, picked out a couple and handed me one. I peeled off the water laden shell and popped the peanut in my mouth.
