Last night we had a lovely dinner with a family from
Australia. They were so much fun to chat with! The son, Richard, has been
traveling around South America for about 3 months now; crazy stories from that one (quick sand and
robbed at gun point). Alicia and I were hoping that we could talk them into
staying another night.
Early morning excursion!!! Two hour boat ride around the
lake and down one of the channels that feeds the lake. We saw all sorts of
birds, spiders as big as my hand, a sloth, and a variety of flowers/plants.
Then, we took a two hour hike through the jungle. Holy Cow. I would have gotten
so lost in there without our native guide Sergio.
The food here is out of this world. They give us way too
much of a huge variety. It is awesome. It’s like “fat kid Friday” all week
long. YEA!
Side note – The staff
found out that Alicia’s birthday is on Monday… They are having a party for
her!!!
Sssshhhhhh. Don’t tell!!! Good thing she doesn’t read this :)

| Alicia's Fish |

| My fish :( |
For our afternoon excursion we went Paraná fishing. Raw beef is what we use for bait. We all caught
something, but Alicia was the big winner. Our wonderful cooks will be frying up
her fish tonight. We also took a boat ride and saw a few different kinds of
monkeys. There was a report that the sloth had moved down the tree, because he
needed to poo (that’s what they do ya know), so we headed that direction.
Instead of spending the whole afternoon fishing, we spent the whole afternoon
checking out the sloth. It was a blast!

| Sloth Scouting In Our Fancy Hats |
Our dear Sergio made us hats from palm branches. He tried to
make one in the jungle for us but was not satisfied. Therefore, he made us both
fancy ones. We looked so good in our hats fishing.
