The year of the goat

Marie-Galante is a nice little island belonging to France and just off the main island Guadaloupe. We met Sonia and Luis our Argentinian friends there and hired a car for the day tolook around the island. Since Tobago Sonia and Luis have been talking about finding a baby goat to cook Argentinian style on the fire and seeing the many farms here and Julie's birthday coming up we chanced it and pulled into one of the farmers driveways. As luck would have it we couldn't have chosen a better fella to have come to and luckily Luis speaks French otherwise it would have been impossible for sure. This fella only has a couple of acres but has absolutely everything besides the dozen or so goats, chickens, pigeons, fouls, corn avocados, potatoes, every tropical fruit and veg around actually I reckon an absolute little paradise. So after a bit of bargaining, (well trying to the price actually went up) we came to a deal that he would slaughter it and we could pick it up the next day. Very cute little goat we chose I must say. Anyway a long story short we found a near deserted beach in the following days to anchor and it was bloody delicious! Luis cooked it to perfection over the fire and with a bit of Argentinian spice Chimi-churi it couldn't have been better, we had a great day celebrating Julie's birthday..it is a 4 hour process so there is plenty of time to hang out, swim and have a few drinks and the afternoon was a hoot, very good day:)
