Where are we now?


View Where are we now? in a larger map Jo, Annie, Miles and I are living in Northport, Alabama and working at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. We've been glad to be in one place for a bit after what appeared to be semi-permanently traveling (in actuality for a period of 2.5 years).We started this blog to catalogue some of the adventures when Jo and I were sequentially conducting our dissertation research in India and Brazil. While we've fallen off the blogging bandwagon somewhat during recent trips to Brazil, we're trying to pick it up again now that we're back in India!

Postcard from Belem



Greetings from Belem! For those of you who've been following the blog you might remember that I was here last year for a while; well, this year I'm here for just a few days at the mouth of the Amazon, visiting several organizations in hopes of tracking down those ever elusive archived aerial photographs.

I really like Belem; Brazil is such a huge country, and the different regions are...well, very different. Not only visually in terms of the people you find here, but linguistically in terms of strong accents, words used and the general jeito (or way).

Above (and below) are two photos from one of my favorite places in Belem at what I think is one of the best times of day, along the docks on the Amazon at sunset. Perfect time for one of those coco geladaos or perhaps one of the fantastic ice-cream concoctions that they have here...acai anyone?
