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”.

Last week we made the transition from Brazil to the US for our third furlough. We took lots of photos, so buckle up your seat belts…and make sure your trays are in their upright and locked position. One of the first hurdles we had to jump was the requirement of a negative Covid test. Here…
