4 Years and ~80,000 Miles
Almost 80,000 miles traveled…

Excuse Me, But Is That a Monkey on Your Head?
Of all of our monkey encounters in the last 6 months, having a monkey jump onto our head and shoulders beats them all.
Critter Encounters
I. Love. Hummingbirds. We were blessed in Arizona to have a lot of them around our house; to see brightly-colored ones (like the one above) darting in and out of bushes all around us in Brazil was fantastic. Read more…
