Barry posted his drawing impression of The Encantadas a long time ago and even though I did the drawing, I didn't post it.
But now I am because our second meeting is coming up so I figured I'd better at least post them in order. Here's mine, like Barry's it's about turtles but unlike Barry's it's not as good as Barry's, but in some ways it's better because the turtle doesn't look kinda like a camel.
"The relics of hermitages and stone basins are not the only signs of vanishing humanity to be found upon the isles. And, curious to say, that spot which of all others in settled communities is most animated, at the Enchanted Isles presents the most dreary of aspects. And though it may seem very strange to talk of post offices in this barren region, yet post offices are occasionally to be found there. They consist of a stake and a bottle. The letters being not only sealed, but corked. They are generally deposited by captains of Nantucketers for the benefit of passing fishermen, and contain statements as to what luck they had in whaling or tortoise hunting. Frequently, however, long months and months, whole years, glide by and no applicant appears. The stake rots and falls, presenting no very exhilarating object."
