Adventures in Peru: the Amazon, part 2

P1000356Me and Kate on a 'Bob Marley tree.'

It's funny how quickly you can fall into a comfortable routine. We would have breakfast, head out on a morning excursion, come back for lunch around 1, have a siesta (in the hammock room, ahhhhhh) until 4, then go out on a shorter excursion before dinner at 7. Two of the three nights we went out after dinner as well, and found several species of tarantula and tree frog. It always amazed us how adept Oscar and Randy were at spotting wildlife, even from hundreds of feet away.

Fuzzy sloth bottom!  Kate took this photo with her fancy new camera--this sloth was really high up in the trees.

Remember that movie Arachnophobia? Creeped the heck out of me when I was a kid. And this tarantula was a stone's throw from our beds...
