I am speechless! Not to mention extremely jealous of your ongoing adventure. Reesa...your face says it all in the pic entitled "on the canoe." You radiate pure joy and wonder. The pics of insects and animals are excellent and we look forward to every blog entry. Keep safe and I think of you often. Love to you both...Marcy
