You Don't Know What You're Missing

The Rio Dulce is going through the changes. After a trip upriver I have discovered the hidden wonders of the community developing on the river. The Roundhouse is a backpackers hostel that is a great place to stay. It has a dormitory and a series of private bedrooms. The pool is great for volleyball and the bar restaurant is welcoming and serves delicious meals.

Up river the new management in Texan Bay is developing a whole new atmosphere. Beautiful wooden chairs and tables replaced the aged plastic ones and I was invited to taste their homemade ice cream. Keep this one a secret. You cannot find a better taste treat anywhere. Congo drums have mysteriously appeared and blues harps slipped out of the pockets and before you knew it the house was rocking.

This is a secret that will not be kept for long for those who enjoy the people on the river. This is bayou country and a pig roast is planned for Halloween. believe me 'people on the river are happy to give.' This is a river with heart and soul. If you have the beat and roots in the delta. This river is the place for you.
