The End of Our Brazil Adventure Is Near

We are nearing the end of our six months in Brazil and have enjoyed our stay. We will return in the fall for 1 month when the weather is warmer. Yesterday we packed the last of the flies that we are taking to Washington--everyone excited? It is winter and we are no longer able to collect. There is still has a lot of work to do to complete the project, but Wayne can do it at the Smithsonian. We have seen beaches, mountains, waterfalls, jungles, and several large cities with lots of traffic. Many people have been very helpful to us and we have enjoyed associating with them. All aspects of the project have been successful.

Our neighbors when we first arrived:

On June 2 we will be back home in Stafford.
