For Gil Serique, because of . . .
Mamiraua, the flooded forest, wherein we saw the three-toed sloth, the pink dolphin, and the elusive white uakari. The power of Iguazu. The candomble ceremony in the favelas of Salvador. The great blue hyacinths of Piaui. The birds of Itachiaia. Cozying up to capybaras and caimans. The sultry feast in the little restaurant in Tefe. The homemade passionfruit liqueur on Mother's Day in Bahia. The marketplace in Manaus and the ice cream there and in Barreras. And, most memorably, the swim with the giant otters in the Pantanal.
