I make visits up the great Essequibo to rest the body, refresh the mind and remind the soul of the beauty in this world. We should travel more in our land. We are blessed to live in a country where the glories and fascinations and variety and sheer amplitude of nature are so bounteous. Indelibly engraved in my memory of wondrous places are the marvellous savannahs of the Rupununi and the mountainscapes in the far distance as sunset deepening to gold makes them magnificent. A poem wrote itself in my mind.
