Abstract
Shortly after completing the Jaguar Princess project, Jane and Ken finally sold their own plantation.1 It had been fun most of the time, and a valued fantasy space for Jane. After returning from Morocco, for example, Jane was inspired to turn a room in their plantation house into “a sort of ‘harem room’ with low divans all around the sides of the wall, and lots of silken cushions lying about, low coffee tables, beaded curtains in the doorway, something exotic and typically Moroccan.”2 But managing a farm was also a chore and a worry, and the government paperwork proved daunting. Jane concluded:
Owning a banana plantation in Ecuador was tough work. Ken and I gave up the endeavor and sold ours, because we were anxious to do more traveling & it wasn’t possible when one owned a banana farm in Ecuador. Too many problems & responsibilities. … What a relief it was to get rid of it. I guess I never really wanted to own anything, like a house or property, because it always gave me the feeling of being hemmed in and tied down.3
They decided to leave Ecuador entirely and travel to Europe, making Switzerland their home base.

Ken was also producing some wild new stories from older material, as Jane was doing. In one example, he used photographs of Amazon natives to illustrate a story about the “Watumbi,” a fabricated matriarchal tribe with whom he stayed during their feast to Yambin, God of Fertility. Ken took passages from Jaguar Princess and placed himself in the story.
