The Amazon!!

Our final destination in Peru was the Amazon!  We had an awesome time - mosquito bites aside.  At the very top of the list of critters to see was an anaconda...no luck.  I can't explain my recent interest in snakes, but I just love them (much to my mother's dismay).  We did see loads of other amazing animals, including caimans, three-toed sloths, fer-de-lances (most toxic snake in Latin America!), many different species of monkey and, thankfully just one tarantula.



Pirhana for dinner!


A cute little monkey frog.

A very personable wooly monkey.

My first time holding a caiman!
