Over the last several years life has been very daunting at times. When of course happens, we must all overcome, persevere. At times it is not easy. It has not been because of my lifestyle, the friends I have or choices I've made. Hence, the reason I am in Africa.
I have obtained a research grant to study a tribe in the Amazon. The journey has been long and hard, uncomfortable (compared to the spoiled ways I live), but most of all, it has been extremely educating, eye opening and satisfying. I have no time schedule as to my return, if all goes well, this study may go on for years. I am in a remote area of the Amazon jungle, satellite phone with limited coverage and internet coverage even more limited if considering the upload speeds.
I will post as I can. No promises as to how often or what will be the subject of my posts. It is not like I am in the middle of the jungle at a nudist resort.
As I learn more of the tribe and their expectations, traditions and lifestyle I will post a blurb here and there.
