Getting Ready To Move

Now has come the time to say goodbye to the beach and move to the jungle. We've been living in Balneário Camboriú for about a year and a half. It is one of the most beautiful places on earth. We are moving to Cáceres, Mato Grosso (which means "thick jungle") right at the heart of the Pantanal wetlands.
Last week we spent a week there preparing for the move. Here are some highlights:


This is our new home. It is the nicest house we could find and we really like it. There are several fruit trees such as coconuts, acerola, cashew (it is a fruit) and pomagranates. It is a little larger than our present house (thank goodness!) and it has a nice yard which we have missed. There is also an office space for me.



While we were there we decided to go fishing. It was a beautiful and hot day on the river but we had a wonderful time. Anna borrowed my camera and took some nice photos.



This is an eagle that we watched for about a half an hour. He would swoop down and grab fish out of the water.


We threw a prianha to this Jabaru stork. They stand well over three feet tall. He washed the fish first and then ate it. It was pretty amazing to watch.


This was Anna's first fish of the day, a nice big barbado catfish. They are real fighters but Anna wouldn't give up. Lewis caught seven piranhas that day. Marilze caught a dorado and is still bragging about it.


Everybody wanted to see the caiman crocodiles. Anna took this very nice shot.



Our last evening there, Anna took this stunning picture. There is no sunset like the Pantanal.
If you want to see more photos, just head to my flickr page at:

I needed some information and was searching on Lycos for it. I visited each of the top ten pages that came up but didn’t get any relevant result... I then luckily found your diamond message board in the dirt and thought to check it out. This is what I wanted!

Cheers peeps at westnashvillegringo.blogspot.com and keep the great effort up.
