In our part of Canada, it is -25 C’ which is -13 F’ with the wind chill factor. So it is only natural, for me, to gravitate to that wonderful country of Brazil. This story really happened and is only one of our adventures there. The picture of this magnificent build is of the Opera House in Manaus, Brazil. 3:50 min. 2 MB

Can I ask where in Canada you are? I was born in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario and Most of my family lives there. Also lived in Vancouver BC for a couple years as a kid. Now residing 40 minutes out of Fort Worth, TX. No worries if you don’t want to say. 🙂

I could not get either of the videos to play. The new post did not play for me either. I may have to check back later.

This was really interesting Leslie. I enjoyed your commentary with the background music. The images were great too. I had to use a different browser to view he video. Firefox would not load them. Glad I came back. You had a wonderful trip. Donna from GWGT. The link goes to my nature blog, not GWGT.

I love these pieces with the film and commentary. Leslie, do you know Laurie Anderson’s “Let x equal x”? Your voice reminds me of hers and I can just imagine you doing that.

You’re welcome. I thought you’d like her. By the way, I noticed she has just given a concert for dogs in New York.

That’s my kind of girl! Chuckle. Did the dogs howl along with her? I know I can make the dogs howl.

Some of them did, others seemed puzzled. But all had a good time, which was the point.

I’m re-reading Tom Robbins’ book, “Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates” and this video is SO evocative of the first part of the book, where the protagonist meets the vividness of South America. 🙂
