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!

Morning walk


One wonderful thing about Rio is just getting up and taking a walk. Staying in Santa Teresa, this meant that we got to stroll up towards Cristo (the Christ statue).



It's a gorgeous walk through a national forest, which given that it's Brazil is temperate rainforest.






And the views from the lookout over Rio's incredible coastline are...well, just incredible.

Ah! I recognize that seed from one of my vast collection of David Attenborough DVDs. It has the most efficient distance to drop height ratio of any seed -- indeed, of any object. They design efficient airplanes after it.
