It's interesting that you posted this since Enya is going to be releasing a new album this November!

Oooh! Another one! I have her last, "And Winter Came".

Beautiful

I LOVE ENYA!!!!!!!!!!! Coincidentally this happens to be one of my fave songs of hers.

My very favorite of her is Shepherd Moons. It makes every muscle in my body melt in relaxation.

One thing that I noticed that Bobby missed mentioning: the Orinoco River is also the home of the world's tallest uninterrupted waterfall: Angel Falls.

I had no idea Angel falls was part of the Orinoco. Are you from Venezuela?

No, but a.) I did a report on Venezuela in middle school, and b.) my mind tends to accumulate all manner of random trivia. So, remembering something like this tends to come naturally to me.

I actually did research for this chapter when we were putting it together. I guess I didn't come across that little tidbit of information.

Okay, actually, I just checked again, and found that the first source that I checked wasn't entirely correct. Even though Angel Falls is definitely in the Orinoco Basin, it's not actually on the river itself. Turns out that it's actually part of a tributary chain leading to the Orinoco River from the Auyan-Tepui Mesa in Canaima National Park.

To be specific: Angel Falls is on the Kerepacupai Meru River, which is a tributary of the Churun River, itself a tributary of the Carrao River, which empties into the Caroni River, finally forming a confluence with the Orinoco River just north of Guyana City (which has its own points of interest, but I've rambled on long enough as it is).

Of course the last time I really researched this was when I was in middle school, some fourteen years back, so my recollection is probably a bit hazy...

So, to sum it up, do to this slight nagging feeling in the back of my mind, I checked if what I said was entirely true. It wasn't 100 percent correct. Even though Angel Falls is in the Orinoco Basin, it's not right on the river itself. It is on a tributary of a tributary of a tributary of a tributary of the Orinoco River. Sorry about that...

I had checked several sources for the information I did use in the chapter. I fully admit, I may have missed a detail or two that was not included in Boobby's 'report', but remember, Bobby's only 12 so he isn't gonna get ALL the details anyway, What kid at 12 does, ya know? Heh heh.

Yeah, I know. I was 12 when I did my report on Venezuela... For a "mock UN" kind of project if I remember correctly... Like I said, my memory can be a bit hazy...

That chapter was nice. I like how much work Bobby had put into his report on the river. I'm quite into geography myself, so I found that info to be interesting. :)
