One of my traveling companions found the fastest way to break the ice with a family of shy young girls in the home of our host in the Amazon jungle. She whipped out her comb and a handful of hair elastics and set up an impromptu beauty salon.

Caroline just won those girls over, braid by braid. No sooner was one little girl sauntering through the bush with her new from-foreign-hair-do, then the next sister had plunked herself down on the stool for her turn.

Nary a word was spoken. At least nary a word that could be understood.

But really, what needed to be said?

I traveled throughout the Amazon in Peru and Brazil many years ago and captured many of the people we met along the way on paper.
