Today was a very fun day. We didn't have an early morning activity so we
only had to get up for breakfast!
After that we went fishing! Both Mesa & I hadn't been fishing in years but it wouldn't have mattered if we had. Our poles were sticks with a line tied to them with raw meat for bait. Both of us caught catfish! Sadly no piraña! Our guide caught one though so we kept it to eat for lunch. We threw the catfish back.
On our way back to the lodge we went looking for the fresh water dolphins. The Amazon has both gray and pink, and we saw both! Hard to capture by camera though.
When we got back we went on a hike to collect seeds that we're going to bring back & make bracelets with. We certainly got our hands dirty.
After lunch we went to monkey island. It's actually a reserve where they are protected. There are 8 diff kinds and they jumped all over us. Very cool. We then went swimming in the Amazon River (and didn't get eaten by pirañas)! The water actually felt clean even though it looks kind of brown.
It's been a very fun day!
Til mañana!
