A special delivery... Ribeira Brava, Cape Verde My sisters and brother would try to get me upset by telling me a different version of story of my birth. According to them, mom saved me from a ribeira (water that flows down after a lot of rain) and felt sorry for me. I knew none of the versions were true, but the mystery of my birth continued and my curiosity increased. I’m not sure when exactly I learned the truth, but like most things growing up, it was a process based on listening to others’ conservation, my own observation, and thankfully my avid reading of books I mostly found at my 80-year-old cousin’s library. www.traveljournals.net /stories/11746.html   (393 words)
