I'm moving to the Amazon!

Just kidding.  I wish!
It may have been a frustrating and expensive ordeal to get here, but it was worth it!  I just spent three incredible days in a jungle lodge 140km away from Iquitos.  I saw three types of monkeys, four sloths, one tarantula, a couple of toucans and a bunch of maccaws, one tree rat, one red tail squirrel, huge surinam frogs, bats, a caiman, and an ant eater just to name a few.  I also went fishing for pirhanas and swimming with the pink dolphins (and probably pirhanas).  I could've stayed in the Amazon river all day. On the way back to Iquitos, I was the only one on the boat and my driver was nice enough to take a detour to show me more grey and pink dolphins. If someone invents some kind of permanent DEET formula to take care of the mosquito issue, I'm coming back and building myself a shack.
