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!

Lar doce lar (Home sweet home): 1

Success! After a week of making cultural inroads, I was successful in finding us a house! It is owned by the settlement's governing council, and is in fairly decent shape, but does need a little work, which is getting done by some very eager beaver workers in the community. Here are some photos from the new home front:



Mopping mopping mopping


the casa de Che


and after all the work, all I needed to relax was a hammock, banjo, and old episodes of Lost

and when I woke up in the morning look who was my backyard....didn't know they came with the house.

In other news, I had a lovely afternoon after all the moving in helping some of my neighbor's girls knocking this local fruit called Jambu down with a twenty foot pole.






and a parting artistic shop.
