Germany
Were you supposed to spend some time in Germany as well? The pictures you posted are gorgeous. We just arrived on the island of Ko Chang. Not the clear blue water I wanted, but still gorgeous.

Great to hear from you. You must be starting to settle in by now, I would think. I'm going to chase down your blog after I finish here. How is the Portuguese coming? I've met some pretty excellent people on this trip and even though we only met briefly, I include you two in that category! Say hello to Laureline for me, and keep her away from the caiperinhas!

Is that cool or what! I'm going to try to watch the long jump event if I can. Go, Arantxa, go!! Wasn't the opening ceremony spectacular today? I don't remember past ones, but this one I thought was a pretty impressive work of art! What do you think? Anyway, I hope you're having a fab summer!

The Camera
You've probably thought of all the options by now, but how about an SD card - you have a couple of extras, right? Could you get those to Elso (or to his home) and have him move the photos on the camera to the card? Then all he'd have to do is send the card in an envelope to you. He wouldn't even need the the camera's USB cable for that. Or....if he has a cable, he could put them on a flash drive for you? You'd be out the camera, but would still have all the media from it. Think any of those ideas would work out?

hello ho hum
Hi Michael! Must be hard to face all the "last meals" with fast friends. Perhaps instead of waiting for the bus - you should head to the boat docks - clear your head w/ lovely salt air, maybe hitch a boat ride... recapture the magic. Regarding your camera - forget the mail, how about asking Elso to ask a (trusted) tourist from a recent tour, who may be heading off Cuiba to bring it along to ... the mainland...Rio....Somerville, wherever they may be headed...? Too risky? Just a thought, although the "trusted" part may be more than you could expect! Clare

You´re right, of course. It´s myself I´m annoyed with. Some people lose their socks, or their boxers. I lose the most expensive and important thing in my pack! Now, where exactly is my passport again?

Last Week
Hi I know you miss the camera, but do remember the memories,experiences and friends you've met along the way are worth much more than pictures. I know that you know that too but are really just upset to not have the camera or at this point being able to get it back. As for the money spent there although it has been expensive remember all that you have learned, experienced and will be bringing back to share and teach to others. It really is priceless. Easy for me to say I know. There really is no price on that. Enjoy your last week......do whatever you need and want to. Do not worry I will get you your coffee at Starbucks if needed when you get back Enjoy and stay safe. Lucille

Our latest obsession....
is Arrested Development :) I bought the entire first season DVD set - watched about 1/2 of it, so far. Gia, being even more obsessed than I, hasn't stopped - she is close to finished with the whole set. And she plans on buying the second season soon. Haahaa....not quite as exciting as your summer, but our kind of fun. Yes, send your flight details whenever you can, I don't think I have them. Just think....soon enough the 3 Musketeers will be back in action.....music, movies and bad DVD's! We can all be broke together :) Talk with you soon, Suze

I leave Brazil a week on Thursday. I arrive in Miami Friday AM but have to hang around Miami all day. I arrive in Boston in the evening. I don´t have the details to hand, but I´ll send them to you over the next few days if you don´t have them already. Hope all is well with you guys! See you soon

Hmmm. Yes, sending the camera from Brazil is expensive....I just checked on my own FEx discount and it's still pricey. Actually, Brazil is one of the most expensive locations to send mail to and from, in general. I remember some Brazilian pals always complaining about it. If I think of a simpler/cheaper option I'll let you know. As for your travel slowdown....I'll bet you'll find some interesting enough things to do. In my eyes, it sure looks all good. Which day do you actually leave to come back?
