Here but gone again

Hi Everyone

This website will have to be updated when I return to the states. We have many great pictures. Really ... we do! In spite of Joe's comment, they are not doctored with photoshop either. We've been spending a lot of time with Fritz (the Maroon botanist / shaman). He's taken quite an interest in us and finds us whenever he can to share stories over dinner. I have the bug (and a couple of pirannah) bites to prove it. We finished the training at the university yesterday (Thursday) and we are leaving in a few minutes for a Carib (Amer-Indian) village. I'll be gone again for the next several days. The internet connection is extremely slow and the opportunities to even be near a computer are few. My best wishes to you all. It's a great experience, but I do miss my family. Know that I'm thinking of you all. I'll try to update you next week.
