  • The rest of the Amazon

    Everywhere is pretty at sunset

    image[2][3]

    This is a big tree

    image

    This is a baby caiman

    image

    Here we are in the flooded forest

    image

    It was very wet

    image

    This is a bird

    image

    The birds were shy here, it was hard to get good pictures

    image

    This is a different kind of toucan

    image

    This is a spider monkey

    image[2][1]

    This is another sunset

    image[5][1]

    And this is our ride out of the Amazon.

  • 2nd Amazon Walk

    Walking in the Amazon means walking on very deep piles of nothing but rotting leaves.

    image

    And a whole lot of bugs

    image

    And vines

    image

    This tree is just a termite mound support now.

    image

    Even in the dry season parts of the forest are flooded

    image

    But we only had to cross a little stream

    image

    With a big step

    image

    Unfortunately the vines aren’t strong enough to swing on like Tarzan

    image

    But it was still no problem

    image

    We found the skin of a giant snake

    image

    Which was totally worth it!

  • Swimming in the Amazon

    The water looked pretty nice

    image

    And Kerri had already fed all the piranha so they were stuffed

    image

    So Matt jumped in

    image

    For a swim

    image

    He said the water was nice

    image

    So Kerri followed

    image

    Which she initially regretted

    image

    But it wasn’t too bad.

    image

    And it’s a good thing we were already wet

    image

    Because the rain forest did it’s thing on the way home.
