AK took this photo of me harvesting yucca in Venezuela, July 2004. This is the only plant I pulled, and I think Pepe even loosened it for me. We were at the family's finca outside Valencia. I was, of course, totally not dressed for the occasion; shod in flip-flops and wandering through fields of yucca, pineapple, and avocado trees. A few minutes later, a mean-ass little ant bit my toe. Pepe had to rescue me, and it hurt so much that I got to practice swearing in Spanish, much to the delight of both Pepe and AK.
