An Amazon Adventure...

Il 4-7 aprile, 2014
The Amazon, Peru

I'm in the middle of a tropical rain forest, humidity thick in the air, the foliage lush and green, and the local creatures oblivious to my presence. With a group of twelve other adventure-seekers, we are having a grand time riding around on a boat on the Amazon River, a muddy brown color because of the high amount of silt deposits in the water. Whether it's scanning the river looking for pink dolphins, visiting the nearby Yagua village to learn about traditional life and customs in this part of the world, riding motorized rickshaws to Mazan and Indiana to get a taste of the local markets and the countryside, or fishing for piranhas on our last day, the Amazon has left its mark on each of us and our time here one of discovery, laughter, fun, and budding friendships.
