It is so easy to live in an academic bubble but so great when I remember to participate in all the cool things happening on campus! Tonight, art opening at the Macintosh gallery with lots of great art and a viola quartet!

There are no signs, no guard rails, no gift shops or light shows. Just an *amazing* spectacle surrounded by forest.

On the TWELFTH day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, 12 TOURISTS TOURING… (yes, ONLY 12–at one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world!)

We caught up with the Yellow-browed sparrow on a previous trip to Brazil, so this lovely little Grassland Sparrow was the last in the genus I hadn’t seen. If I were to come back to Guyana, I would definitely plan more time in these arid regions.

The capital sits 2 m below the high tide line (yikes), where the Demerara river empties to the sea. Water has to be actively pumped out of the city—a scary experience if you happen to find yourself cut off by gushing effluent for half an hour (as the tide rose)!
