Joel with a freshly harpooned piranha.  I don't know if he stabbed it, or if the guy behind him did it.  (This photo is from Joel).

 Nikole with a little friend that we found in our bathroom.  It's much smaller than the coackroach that was in her bed.

 Brazilians have superb balance.  Perhaps it's because these people grow up at the side of the river and spend every day there.

 A floating house, very typical and practical.  They've got some logs upon whch to build an addition, too.  These big logs will float for 50-60 years.

This is in the town of Porcao, where we made a housecall and Joel visited the home of Thais.  She was in love with his blue eyes.  Lara was his chaperone.  That's Laurie and Kara in the background.
