I live in Southern California and enjoy adventure travel, nature, photography, doing nothing, reading, and film.
I've been fortunate to travel to various cichlid habitats regularly:
December '96 was in India - Etroplus country!
September '97 found me swatting bugs on Rio Jatapu and Uatuma in the Brazilian Amazon.
August '98 was spent becoming one with the mud in the Peruvian Amazon.
March '01 was spent mostly in Uruguay. Gauchos and Mate!
December '03 was back to India - finally caught Etroplus canarensis!
September '04 was spent in the no-man's-land of Beni, Bolivia.
March '05 was time for a mud-free vacation in Kauai, Hawaii
November '05 saw me in Surinam and French Guiana.
May '06 was spent swatting away sweaty tourists in Italy but the beauty and romance of Florence made up for it.
We got to "enjoy" the 3 AM sunrises of Sweden in June '06.
