...especially rattley ones and moccasins (not the shoe but the water variety, with a mouth that looks like cotton and a bite that will paralyze you in the water and, subsequently, you drown).
Would you believe that right now Henk and Sjaantje are at the river watching some guy perform a 'Snake Shoot'? It's as simple as it sounds: he is shooting snakes. Apparently the river provides a home to some water moccasins as large as 5 feet long which are usually shot by the old woman across the road (not our house but one on the river) who then lays their carcasses across the highway, just to make sure they're dead. There might be some rattle snakes as well but not in the water, of course.
I opted out of these festivities as I found this invite a bit too much.
What are we doing here?!!!!
Missing the somewhat less venomous Catalans -
