Still Alive

Greeting from Peru! We made it to Iquitos this afternoon from Leticia, Columbia/Tabatinga, Brazil/Santa Rosa, Peru.

We have survived the six day boat trip from Manaus to Tabatinga as well as a three day adventure into the Columbian jungle. There are tons of great stories to tell, but internet access has been spotty at best and so I have not been able to post due to bad connections and/or old computers. I promise that there will be lots of great posts with lots of pictures when I get back to Honolulu, which is mid-day on the 13th of May (This Saturday).

For a few teasers... Brazilians are scared of silence, it is acceptable to have sex in a hammock on a boat with 50 other people right next to you, and taking a long-tail outboard motor boat down the amazon river for 70 km after dark is one hell of an adventure.... Did you know that entire trees float down the river during the high water period? Also, have you ever spent five days in a country illegally? I have.

One can then assume that you had sex on the boat with 50 other people? ...
