    Our last night's neighbor / Nuestro vecino de anoche

    This lovely frog visited us last night! It’s amazing! Our expert tells us it is of the genus Phyllomedusa. It usually walks instead of jumping, like other frogs. It produces a waxy secretion that reduces the evaporative water loss of their bodies. Some indigenous groups from South America use the secretions in shamanic hunting practices.

    Val Busking in Ireland / Val tocando en las calles de Irlanda

    For the last decade or so Val used to travel to Europe, specially to her second home in Ennis, Clare County, Ireland. Clare was born there and that’s where her name comes from. Val used to busk on the streets and raise money for the trip back To The Amazon. That’s where her CD title comes from: Busker’s Meditation. She has stopped for the last 2 years, but now she’s feeling the need of going back, and we, of joining her to continue filming!
