A new adventure
I'm sure it's very different from Argentina, but exciting all the same! Looking forward to keeping up with your adventure!

Looks lovely nothing like i imagined glad its going well for you both!!
Glad to hear your having a great time but sounds challenging it was good to see you both when you were back in the uk.

Great
Looks lovely - time to add Syria to my ever-growing list! Have fun kids.

Lovely!
Hi Russ and Trish, Great to see that you made it to Pcawl and good to hear it was windy as always! And the new Borders in Cardiff sounds very exciting - I look forward to paying it a visit. It all seems very far away from Bogota though, where we find ourselves at the moment. Also, I would love to buy your house but fear that you want more than 10 quid for it. I will pass on the details to friends in that area though and let you know if I hear anything back! Take care and "pob lwc" for Syria, Ruth

Pic
I love the photo "Out Walking". looks like you're having lots of fun!

Brighton looks chilly....
but it looks like you're having fun at home. Have fun in Essex.

that is the cleanest subway train i have ever seen!

Rabbit Cheese
The menu you saw Rabbit Cheese was probably written by a foreign retaurant owner who confused the word CoAlho (processed milk) with CoEilho (Rabbit).

Monte Alegre
There are rock paintings just outside Monte Alegre that may be more than 10,000 years old. Those paintings along with other evidence of early human habitation are contributing to a revision of theories on when the Amazon was settled. You were fortuate to get into the upper Panorama II. It was full when my wife and I got there and we found that our reservations were actually in the lower Panorama -- a miserable little cabin with leaky roof, a yardfull of rosters that crowed most of the night, no screens and many mosquitos and an air conditioner that kept flipping the circuit breaker. We put up with it for two nights then moved to a really basic hotel by the dock, as the upper Panorama was still full. Good thing we did as the boat we'd booked (and paid for) in Santarem showed up about six hours earlier than expected and we had to pack and move really fast to catch it. KST

stars
love the star paragraph. there wouldn't be a four star in trinidad anywhere would there

que saudades!
Sinto saudades! I hope you are going to some of the smaller beach towns around Fortaleza! Jericoacoara is definitely a highlight and Canoa Quebrada is also beautiful. I'm sure it's good to be out of the Amazon, though. That can be a pretty rough one. Hope you're having loads of fun!

Hi, this is very interesteing, as I am planning to volunteer in San Miguel del Bala for a month (mid-march to mid-april). Is there anything you recommend I bring? or just any advice in general for my stay there (hopefully i'll have more to do!).
