it's down in Curitiba, which is quite a ways away. I'm close to the equator and Curitiba is below the tropic of capricorn, so it's a ways away.

Absolutely insane. I have to say, I'm stricken by the photo of the child dressing his father in Sierra Leone, though the one in New Orleans was spectacular
