The following is a list of things I learned about, tried out, or did while in the Jungle.
Jungle Walk- Follow man with large machette through mud, vines, swarms of mosqitos to the canoe he is carving out of a huge fallen tree.
Jungle Bug Repellent- Find termite nest, cut it open with machette, put bare hand on hole, wait till hand is covered in termites, take hand away from nest, rubs hands together (killing the termites), rub termite carcasses over exposed skin.
Cure for Cancer/Hang-over Helper- Find special vine, cut open with machette, drink water like substance from within.
Alligator Watching- Go out in boat at night, use very large flashlights, one of which is hooked up to a car battery, flash them around edges of river, when you see a pair of red eyes, keep flashlight on it (it is an alligator, the light temporarily blinds it), drive the boat slowly up to it, then lie down on bow of boat, hold hand over edge, and when hand is just above the neck of the beast grab it, bring it aboard boat, have nervous gringa´s hold it.
Jungle Fire- A few medium sized wet logs, a small coke bottle of gasoline, a large piece of plastic.
Swimming with Pink Dolphines in Amazon- (On the lobster boat I saw dolphins about once a week.) These dolphins were incredible. Pink. Not kind of, not sort of, but pink. And there were grey ones and pink and grey ones. The swimming was not too good. The Amazon was pretty muddy and filled with many, many scary things so it was just walking waist deep, near the pink dolphins. Amazing.
