| 15th August 2008 KST | Still Travelling -- Behind on Blog Posts - From: Amazon 3.0 -- Bicycles of Barcelos, a Four-Minute Photo Essay Susan, Still travelling, going back to Seattle on the 20th (four flights, yuk). I'll finish the blog when I get back -- haven't had good Internet connections since I was in Manaus, it would take me all day here to post a couple of photos. Kit |
| 15th August 2008 susan schneider | are you still travelling? - From: Amazon 3.0 -- Bicycles of Barcelos, a Four-Minute Photo Essay Hi Kit As I am just catching up on your blog, I notice July 25 is your last entry. Are you done with the trip? Loved the photos and descriptions. Susan |
| 15th August 2008 Susan Schneider | Hello from London - From: Amazon 3.0 -- Vines and Epiphytes Hi Kit In the middle of packing to go back to Seattle and am enjoying your blog for the first time (Aug 15). What an amazing adventure you are having. Like what you are writing about the reality of exchanging dollars, hotels, eating meals. Best of luck with the rest of the trip. susan |
| 6th August 2008 KST | Ethnobotanical properties - From: Amazon 3.0 -- Vines and Epiphytes I've no idea. |
| 4th August 2008 old.frt | Vegetation - From: Amazon 3.0 -- Vines and Epiphytes Do any of these plants have ethnobotanical qualities? |
| 1st August 2008 old.frt | Currency pointer - From: Amazon 3.0 Your comment on betting a poorer rate when converting twenties vs. hundreds: instructive. |
| 25th July 2008 KST | Great Idea - From: Amazon 3.0 -- Bicycles of Barcelos, a Four-Minute Photo Essay Great idea, Cliff, when I get back we will have to write up a grant proposal. |
| 25th July 2008 Cliff | Bikes of Barcelo - From: Amazon 3.0 -- Bicycles of Barcelos, a Four-Minute Photo Essay Kit, What a novel approach to documenting the bicycle traffic! Must be a grant out there to expand this timed study! :) |
| 22nd July 2008 Colleen | - From: Amazon 3.0 -- Part Four I see a gallery show & book in the making here! The photos are exceptional, particularly the Hoatzin, birds & tropical downpours. You are truly on the edge out there. Do you plan to do any hiking? Let us know if you see any petroglyphs or other Amazonicus creatures out there. So do we (you?) now have a second home out there somewhere? How far must one travel for drinkable water, or is it all rain water? Love from home base, --Colleen |
| 19th July 2008 KST | I hear more animals than I see - From: Amazon 3.0 -- Vines and Epiphytes I often hear monkeys. Just before dawn when sleeping in a hammock on the deck of Iguana I hear the river dolphins surfacing to breath (seen them also, photos in a later blog entry). One morning -- most of the night actually -- I heard lots of the birds the Brazilians call a ferreiro (blacksmith) as it makes a rather obnoxious sound like metal being struck on an anvil. I recall hearing one once before in a bird market in Recife and was told ''it sings day and night.'' |
| 18th July 2008 Colleen Taylor | Amazon Zen moments - From: Amazon 3.0 -- Vines and Epiphytes Fantastic photos, Kit. How about wildlife? You mentioned macaws in an email. What sounds do you hear and what critters have you seen (monkeys, bats, Harpies?). Yes, such a rough life! Enjoy the moments! Colleen |
| 18th July 2008 Dick and Betsy | Surreptitious Movements - From: Amazon 3.0 The Portuguese Embassy in Seattle has issued a travel alert regarding the surreptitious movements of a man who resembles Guiseppe Verdi at his prime....in Brazil, specifically Puerto Ayacucho. We can only speculate whether your clandestine perambulations are properly interpreted suspiciously, as if perhaps a double agent or even a triple agent (do they have such critters?)..... Your previous associates at Bellevue Community College are scheduled to testify soon regarding your upstanding character and unquestioned citizenship--this would be in Congress, Wash., D.C., and if we are also asked to testify we would claim the same reimbursement offered for jury duty, plus airfare, and we would say that your travels are simply the case of a man who became bored with retirement, seeking to find adventure abroad. We enjoy the pictures, but could you please send a few showing naked sunbathers along the Orinoco? Ha ha, hang in there big fella. |
| 16th July 2008 Colleen Taylor | Ola from Washington - From: Amazon 3.0 It looks adventurous, beautiful, challenging--the trip of a lifetime. I'd love to visit the hotel on the river--very typical South American style. The photos incredible--keep them coming. Love & hugs--Colleen |
| 19th June 2008 susan schneider | Hi Kit - From: The Amazon - Planning Ahead and Looking Back - Part 2 Hi Kit Colleen emailed me your blog and I shall follow your trip with much interest. Just read over your earlier trip and you are a wonderful writer..really brings the area alive. I will look on my World Atlas and see what I can find. Best of British Luck on the trip of a life time! Warm Wishes from London Susan |
