Amazon River, near Iquitos, Peru.
Can you image your 10(?) year old daughter navigating a little pica-pica boat, with Peruvian Naval ships and huge cargo shipping vessels (not to mention water taxis that U.S. based public health folk could be riding in) on the vast sea that is the Amazon River?

Regular dishes on life in New Orleans, historic home renovation, raising kids, completing a PhD, travel near and far, global concerns, and health issues.
You know the story, right? International health... work all over the place... drag my kids around in sacks through villages in Central America... yadda yadda. I decided to go for another degree, so in 2004 we moved to New Orleans with no intention of staying. Then Katrina. And then *blink*blink* New Orleans is a completely different place and we just can't leave. Suddenly I'm on TV talking about immigrants and health and Paul is starting a company. Or two. His side is high-tech, mine is community health and our lives are yearly evacuation, regular celebrations, and nonstop work here, there, and everywhere. Our door is always open. I only ask that if you decide to go ahead and make yourself that mint julep, you make one for me, too.
We strive to make our life our argument.

No, I can’t imagine that because it would be to scary. I do love all the blues in your photograph. She looks so small against the size of the water area.
Here is mine:

Haha, yes actually, I can kinda imagine it. When I was that age I used my jetski to chase behind cargo ships and shrimp boats in the MRGO.

Sometimes I think kids in the city live too protected a life. I now live in a small rural (remote) town and see kits growing up in tune with their environment. It seems more healthy. I invite you to come see my nautical cruise in Coastal BC. – Margy
