Hey Lina!
My brother is a linguist... he got his undergrad at Baylor in Classics. He's a grad student at University of Texas and went with 3 others to document this tribes language before it's lost. He knows Greek, Latin, Spanish, whatever language they speak in Papua New Gunea, of course English, and whatever language he's learned on this trip. When he gets back he'll have one class and to finish his thesis and he's done with school... for now. He plans to take a break and go back in a few years to get his PhD.
He was in contact with us via email and internet cafe's but since he's been in the jungle... nothing. My mom always worries so much about him but I know if something happened someone would call us.
He's a really good photographer and writer so I'm really excited about seeing & hearing all about his adventure. He's such a good influence on Cory, too. He promised he'd take Cory on his next big adventure... but I'm not sure I want Cory in the jungle just yet

Maybe Europe!

On the pic issue... once you resize the image to a reasonable size, try compresing it to get the size down. You don't want to compress too much b/c you'll loose clarity in the pic the more you compress it. We usually do a combination of both with good results.

I love those lizards by the pool and you're right Fade would have wanted to take them all home as pets
Your little girl is just too cute! I want one just like her
That lighthouse pic looks like a postcard it's so beautiful!
Keep posting more pics of Aruba... I love seeing what other places are like.
