Last weekend my wife and I went up the great Essequibo to stay at the beautiful river-home of my brother-in-law and his wife. Not far away we share with friends a river-home of our own. In these lovely places we have spent many of the most contented hours of our lives. We also have lived in Arcady.
It is a long way from the island-scattered mouth yet the river here is like a sea, miles across and the waves wild as an ocean’s when storms come and you cannot see the other shore so far away. This is one of the things I love about the Essequibo.
