In the Amazon

Hi,
Well, We´re in Tena, Ecuador right now after spending a few beautiful days at the Arajuno Jungle Lodge. We arrived in Ecuador on the morning of the 10th, and this is the first moment I´ve had to post anything.

We had a fantastic time there... we got off the bus at a bridge somewhere in the jungle, though we were uncertain that we were in the right place. Holmes, a local there, met us and then ferried us up the river to the lodge, where we unwound and then started to explore. We toured primary and secondary rainforests, with vines and bugs and trees... we chased an iguana, ate local fruits, kayaked down the rio, learned about local medicine... it was amazing! And the food was fantastic too. The owner, Tom, was great and took us around on the tours himself; actually, we had the whole place to ourselves :)

Now, we're in Tena on our way to the cloudforest.
