Apologies for this shameless self-promotion, but Friday I learned I've been awarded an all expenses paid Fulbright Award to Brazil! We will travel to six different geographic areas of Brazil over the space of 5 - count 'em - five blessed weeks, beginning July 2007. Stops include the water-chocked Amazon, the serpentine Gran Pantanal (the world's largest inland wetland and my personal geographic obsession), the controversy-soaked savanna (Brazil's contested highland frontier), and the densely populated southern fringes of Rio. More details to follow. And no, our Kathmandu adoption plans have not changed, only grown more colorful! Cheers to Bryant for inspiring me to put my application forward last fall.

Congratulations-I would love to hear more about it! I think that a dinner for the four of us is in order.
Caipirinhas, cariocas, and capoeira, oh my! Congratulations Karen - you are richly deserving of this opportunity! In my crystal ball I see great adventures in your Brazilian future. Have fun and please continue to keep us posted...

Can't wait to see the pictures and hear the stories then read the book. There is a book, right?
Congratulations on a job well done.
