found a welcome there during the

doz times we have been in

the "Zone" going west to east or vice versa. . . . Actually this Bird of

Paradise Fizz is Aziz' Special to which 2 to 3 tsp of raspberry syrup

have been added instead of the sugar, and juice of

limes instead

of the lemon. Float on a red rose petal, or any scarlet small tropical

blossom, like bougainvillea, as a final garnish.

Shake hard and long.

but using pineapple syrup up to 3 tsp instead of sugar, and juice from

green limes instead of lemon.

canoe trip down the rapids through a stupendous wild mill-race flung

through a rocky gorge of towering walls hung with weird tropical

growths, peopled with gibbering monkeys and vivid unnameable

birds; a feat for which we now possess a fine illuminated parchment

diploma. Thermos carafes, ice cubes, hampers of civilized fodder both

liquid and solid, made odd contrast to all of this primeval setting, to

the native boatmen-2 to a canoe. Fresh green mint is the garnish, a
