I woke up this morning and it is only 51 degrees here in the Appalachian Mountains.  I had to turn on the heat in my room!

Anyway, I will be packing up soon but wanted to share a picture I received yesterday from Aaron Mermin-Heslin.  He and his wife, Laura, were together with Rick, Mary Pat, and I in the Amazon jungle in Peru back in May.  You may recall our talking about being taken by our guide to the middle of the Madre de Dios River and loaded into a rubber raft.  Aaron and Laura were loaded into a separate raft.  Then, the guides all left us.  Well, Aaron sent me a picture he took of Rick, Mary Pat and I floating down the river.
