Dave's friend Tom is visiting us while he awaits his visa so he can return to Columbia. Tom is doing interesting work to encourage indigenous tribes in the Columbian jungle to set aside their lands for carbon offsets. I don't quite understand how it works but Tom says it is a great situation for indigenous tribes and is also good for the environment. Very interesting.
Tropical Storm Bonnie was a complete hype. Winston and I awoke from a nap today at 4 pm - I heard the wind blowing through the trees outside, and, thinking the storm was upon us, quickly folded up our lawn chairs and tidied up outside. I found out 30 minutes later that the storm had "passed over" us an hour ago - and we slept through it! There was worse weather one evening last week when my mother was here (we at least had tree limbs down in our yard from that storm).
Anyway, wanted to let you all know we "survived the fierce tropical storm that was Bonnie." Reason 3,423 that I am so pleased that our cable is not working these days...we avoid the 24/7 news complex that creates crisis out of mild weather.
Sadly, no pictures to add to this, but I promise more pics later this weekend. Happy Friday!
