hi everyone! i have just taken some images from my camera and put them somewhere (don´t know where) onto this computer at the caff. whether i shall find them and be able to put them here remains to be seen. they are Father Christmas comes to Leblon, the wonderful night flowering cactus of Mirantao, and Sue on horseback!
here it is raining, raining, raining. but at least still warm. the brollys are useful, except i´ve already lost mine! now sue has loads to say:
christmas was chaotic. ros and i tried to create an english christmas dinner in a kitchen the size of a cell, for 13 people. the crackers were new to most of them, so was blind-mans-buff. however, it was a noisy, happy event and everybody scoffed the food hungrily. my best christmas present was from Mother Nature as early on christmas day, we were visited for the first time by several tiny, pretty monkeys, two toucans and some seabirds that looked like pteradactyls. but the big one here, apart from carnival, is new years eve which we are really looking forward to. then we are wandering south. sue

sorry folks! i shall have to come back with roman sometime and try again to do the photo thing because just can´t get it yet myself........
