The first of several.The crew that helped us at camp this week.Looking down the water slide towards the swimming hole.Itacyara has been beautifying the area around the swimming hole.One of our many “jungle trails”.“Comyn” is the original Scottish form of my last name. “Croft” means “farm” or “manor”.
