suffering from the weather

This place is so hot and damp that it can get suffocating. Alex is more uncomfortable with this than I am. I guess we need some time to adapt. We’re doing as well as we can with what little we have. The inhabitants of the village are really unique and Alex seems just as fascinated as I am. He ran a lot of tests with them and made quite a interesting discovery? All of them have incredible eyesight. I mean their vision is simply perfect - had they something to read, they certainly wouldn't need glasses, even the elders. I have never seen that before and Alex is trying to understand what he calls the “little miracle of French Guyana”. As for me, I’m wondering what am I going to do those boxes full of reading glasses we took with us? It seemed to be such a great idea when we left the States. Anyone interested? Just let me know :o)
