Chief of Police of Malibu

Well, it’s Tuesday night, and tomorrow morning, Marcy & I depart on our first adventure into Brazil’s hinterlands: São Luis.  It should be exciting.  They have some great political intrigues going on up there in Maranhão (the current governor & ex-governor, who’s also the daughter of an ex-president, had a big fight that seems to have involved the current governor’s wife, somehow, and the current governor bolted the party, while the ex-president’s grandson (and nephew of the ex-governor), is in a different party altogether (as is the ex-president himself, who is now a senador from another state, even though he was governor of Maranhão).  Anyways, there’s also a phenomenal national park that I visited almost three years ago with Charles Varner, which we’re excited about seeing.

Speaking of seeing, Marcy just made a great album of pictures on Shutterfly:

I guess you have to be a member to view it, but I think it’s free.  It’s got a lot of great photos of the past couple of weeks–especially our time here with Aisha and Rebecca and our trip to Paraty.  Hope you like, and we’ll bring back more pics from São Luis!
