Gayle and Mo if you could let Cob´s know that i love him and offer him a belly rub that would be fantastic, and greatly appreciated. Much love to you all, this is a beautiful and spectacular place, and thus far an incredible experience, i am grateful for my companions in this and all the love from every one involved in our lives....be well, have you ever slide down a handmade water slide fed by a waterfall and fell 15 feet into a river, and the only precaution was that it is muy bien from the property owner, or looked down a 12 meter cliff dive into raging whiterwater and been told that the rio is muy profundo and took a leap it was well worth the tres dollares. Be well!

Hey everyone! We are currently in Mindo, Ecuador. It is possible this place houses the garden of eden. It is nestled in one of the last real cloud forest left in the world, right in the heart of the Andes. We´ve been up to the usual, jumping off waterfalls, sorry dad I talked linds into doing it, taking bird data with a orinthologist from Cornell, playing with white bunnies that are hopping all over our hostel, and joining in the pick up soccer games with the locals, Mark may turn pro. Pictures will soon be posted. Hope everyone is doing well, keep the messages coming, its always nice to hear from people from home.

The little girl at the market seemed to dress like she came from Old Navy. ha!!! Hope all of you are healthy. Keep us posted. Love you!!! M & P H

Well Hello! Your travels look amazing so far. The pictures are great. I'm glad to hear that everything is going well, however I'm pretty jealous- I can't wait to get down there. I'm at the Monticello library- doesn't that sound thrilling?! I'm working in town this week so I can get some stuff done, then I have my last week in the field starting tuesday... I have been giving out the address to this website, everyone has been asking me questions about you guys and your travels. I love and miss all of you, take care! -cailin (heads)

You guys were late for check in, I need an updated UTM and group satus with a head count. Did you lose Scott already? If you make it to Puerta Lopez say hey to Enrique and Allegria at Yubarta. If youre still in Otavala buy me a switchblade, I think thats the only place in Ecuador we found tofu. Some gringo (with a good library) married a chinese girl (hence the tofu) and opened a coffee shop. Theres also great c*** fights with burly green liquor, find some kid to explain the wagers. I'll be in the Caribean next week if you want to stop buy, if not hustle back to the southern hemisphere, I can smell Marks butt from here. -E
