**Tiputini**

I came out of the shower this morning to hear the end of an NPR feature where Alex Chadwick was talking about the sounds that insects use to communicate with one another. It turns out he was reporting from Tiputini Biological Research Station in Ecuador - where my daughter spent several weeks doing research. Her stories from the area are even more fascinating. as they involve living in tree tops, nasty fish, and broken generators.
You can read the script or even listen to it at the the link for NPR's radio documentary: Journey to the Edge of the Amazon.

I heard that one, too. I agree that your Emilita's stories are much better; I bet that he wouldn't strip to his underwear for a cleansing ceremony! =)
