Good morning from sunny Madrid Barajas airport. I was just thinking that this is the airport from which I first took a plane in 1962. Obviously, it does not look quite the same. We are on our way to Sao Paulo. Tomorrow we'll meet up with Michael and the Sao Paulo gang. Then it's off to Rio de Janeiro for a major series of interviews with staff at INCA. We'll also try to avoid the Denge fever which has struck Rio. We are landing in the midst of it. Fortunately I brought some OFF and we have long sleeves. After Rio it'll be off to Peru for a full five days of filming. We'll keep you posted.

Earlier in the week we shot the intro sequence at the Clinique d'Argonay in Annecy. I'm happy with it. Allison is working hard on getting us a celebrity narrator. I really hope that comes through, especially if we can find someone who is truly committed to cancer.

How is the film going so far? I'm happy. I'm still looking forward to some great new footage, but so far the interviews have been very satisfying.

That's all for now. I'm going to shut down and walk to the gate; I don't really want to miss the flight.
