Pancake breakfast! Then a hike with a guide Franklin through the rainforest, both secondary and primary parts. There were snakes and I ate a termite. After hike we were all dropped off by ourselves off the path and stayed alone for an hour without a watch or journal or anything just to observe and feel connected to the jungle. At first I was pretty relaxed and enjoying it and watching a spider on his web, but suddenly there was a huge crash nearby, probably a falling tree branch, and my heart was racing. Then a bullet ant was crawling right at me, which was weird since usually they’re just going on their way. So for the rest of the time I wasn’t as comfortable, but you’re not really supposed to be completely comfortable, I don’t think.
After lunch, we went on a CANOE TRIP (it was a motorized canoe, but still the coolest thing ever) to the Amazonica animal refuge for animals that used to be pets. They try to recuperate them to release, but a lot of them can’t be ever, especially parrots and monkeys. There was one monkey with an equilibrium problem who was doing tricks, very cute. We also saw the biggest rodent in the world, also cute. There were a lot of European volunteers, our guide was from Switzerland. Then canoe ride back.
Our speaker was the son of a shaman. Interesting, don’t feel like writing about it now.
Night hike! Huge spiderwebs yards high between trees. Frog. Guide made me a plantain leaf crown like Pocahontas and Denise made me a bracelet.
I saw a bullet ant behind my bed!!!!!
