I´ve been out of contact for almost a week now. I´m volunteering at a area in the ¨jungle¨ per say, not the deep part but it is amazing. Huge spiders, bigger then I´ve ever seen. It is run by an Argentinan couple, Deigo and Errma, they are great. I was given a matchete right upon arriving, i´m getting pretty good. Deigo lives with one of the last untouched indigenous Ecuadorian tribes left in the Amazon here for 3 months every year, he is a wealth of knowledge beyond belief. I´ve been learning how to make thatched roofs the past couple of days and later next week we are building a new suspension bridge. Its nice to be in one spot for a bit, been laying off the Pilsner a bit, if you can believe that linds and mark. Miss you guys, can´t wait to meet back up. Hope everyone is doing well. love and miss you all. Scoot

Hi guys. It sounds like all is going well. Linds, I know it's cloudy there but I will take that over the 5 inches of snow we are getting now and the 3 inches of ice we already have. I had a call about noon today which I couldn't hear so I thought it may have been you Linds since Mark said you two were headed to the internet and phone. All the pictures you have sent are great. I am glad to see and hear that you are having a great time. Wish I could come down for awhile. Who knows, maybe I will make next spring sometime. Please keep in touch even if it is only to say hi. I love and miss you.
