Bizarre Foods with Ian Young
OMG!! Again, I can't stop smiling for you. Wish I could be there with you for all your food adventures. If you could describe the food like Andrew Zimmern, that would be great too. Love you!!

Thanks for the blog updates Ian. Would be cool to explore down there with you too. Never had a suit but would definitely pick one or 4 while I was there. Thanks for the great photos.
