Pictures

This is Bahia, on the day we arrived.
The hammock on the patio that sits over the river. This is a particularly comfy one, it gives a good hug.
Clay wrapping up his bag lunch, which is really in a banana leaf that has been heated to make it bendy, then tied up with string pulled from the bark on the trunk of the tree. The woman is the fantastic (I think) chef at Rio muchacho, who´s family we´ve been visiting.
The school coming of age cerimony. Note that dogs are everywhere and no one pays them any attention, though this one tried hard to be ridiculous.
This is my friend Eliot. We were playing whales, because he loves them. The big leaves are whales in special oceans we made, and the little leaves are sea lions for the whales to eat. Eliot grew up (to age 3) in Kenya with his parents who are from the UK, and they´ve spent over a year travelling around south america now. Fantastic kid, great imagination, I had lots of fun.
