Out of the Amazon, but not yet in Lima
after 5 days in the hot, muggy, bug infested jungle,
we re sweaty, smelly and gross. We are sooo ready for
a nice hot shower in our hotel in Miraflores, Lima,
but our flight keeps getting pushed back and was
originally 5:20p and now it´s 9:30p. Luckily, our
jungle agency called before we took the taxi to the
airport, so we´re not waiting in the airport, we´re
just chilling, wait scratch that, we´re melting in
Iquitos.
We were actually supposed to go directly
from the jungle to the airport, but we, Dianne
especially, really wanted to get some icecream in
Iquitos cause they have some really 
good fruit flavors
here that you can only get in the Amazon like garuana,
camu camu, ajuito, gramamba (or something). All
really good though.
The jungle trip started off rocky as all things have
here in Peru, but by the end, I held a tarantula, a
snake (a small one), saw a sloth and some monkies,
fish for pirhanas and ate them, went camping in the
jungle, held a cayman in my hands, and got bitten by
many MANY mosqiutos. Oh and went swimming in the
Amazon with the pink dolphins. We had fun but are so
ready to get out of the jungle and back to showers,
clean clothes, and normal temperatures.
Taxi leaves in ten minutes, wish us luck.
