Author's Note: Eyeballing Big croc is the personal odyssey of Vivien Zielin who grew up in England. She fulfills her dream of traveling the world and discovering experiences beyond the stereotypes. As she explores both familiar and distant places, she encounters crocodiles, moonshine, prime ministers, an unexpected war and drug smuggling. A visit to Russia and an interview with the KGB vividly illustrates the delicate and easily threatened nature of freedom. As each story develops, Vivien — now living in San Francisco — finds her horizons widening and her awareness of the beauty and fragility of life heightened.
