The end of week 2 has been really hectic. I´m sorry I wasn´t able to write more but if feels like I have no free time as it is. The kids are back and we´ve been doing all sorts of arts and crafts, games, and playing more soccer than I ever have in my life.
This weekend I´m fulfilling one of my life long dreams. Myself and 3 other guys just arrived in Iquitos, which is the largest city in the world not accesable by car. Tomorrow we will be taking a boat about 150 KM up the Amazon river to stay in a jungle lodge. Some of the activities we will be doing are, Caiman (like crocidiles) spotting, blowdart practice with some local indian tribes, fishing for pirahanas, and hopefully seeing a whole bunch of amazing plants and animals. The humidity here is thick and I can deffinetly tell that we are in the middle of the rain forrest. The dollar still has some of it´s value here and it´s great to breathe fresh air again instead of the pollution in Lima. I´m guessing since the Jungle Lodge we will be staying at is lit by kerosene lamps, it probably won´t have internet. So my next blog will have to be tuesday afternoon when I get back to Lima. Hopefully I´ll have many stories to tell...To be continued.
