Clipperton Island

I just read a book called "isle of pasion" written by Laura Restrepo, the book is about 12 families are sent by the mexican government to this island. they are there to mantain it as mexican territory, french wanted it. they arrive there around 1906 with the promise that every 2 months a mexican ship will be arriving with every kind of supplies. The ships start to come every 9 months and then in 1911 they are forgotten when Porfirio Diaz quits as mexican president and with the start of the mexican revolution. Its a great story and it really happened. There are not many pictures of it and there are only 13 palms nothing else. A real dessert island. Now the island is French territory so it didnt helped that much. I recommend this book strongly. If you want to know more information about this island look it up as "Clipperton island". Its not a paradise because you dont really have anything like fruits the only thing they ate was bobo birds and crabs (raw sometimes). When you see the pictures you can see that its just a small fraction of land.
