Back from the Amazon!

[asakiyume]

In spite of near crippling pre-trip nerves, my visit in Leticia was wonderful!
--I was a passenger on a motorbike multiple times!
--I swam in a river! (Not The river, but a river)
-- I saw a pink river dolphin and many gray ones!
--I made asaí juice!
--I did a craft project with the kids of one of my friends and played chase games with them!
--I made the acquaintance of a truly grandísima ceiba!
--I visited a shelter for stray dogs run by a friend of one of my friends!
--I saw a parade for the 159th anniversary of Leticia's founding!

But probably the thing that people would most enjoy seeing at this point in time is... an encounter with a pet capybara. He was a sweetie ^_^

Capybara!

It sounds like an absolutely wonderful trip. I'm so glad.

<3 It was wonderful! I need to write it all down in my journal so I don't forget the details.

I am jealous of the pink dolphin sighting, but in love with the capybara.

I was over the moon about the pink dolphin sighting. I've been several times, and this was the first time I was lucky enough to see one!

Wonderful! Wonderfulness upon wonderfulness!

This sounds like an absolutely fabulous trip, and I did appreciate the pet capybara. And omg, river dolphins!!

[asakiyume]

It was at least sixteen layers of wonderfulness! And the river dolphins were fabulous ^_^

I'm glad you had a wonderful trip!! And OH MY GOD AMAZON RIVER DOLPHINS— I mean, OMG CAPYBARAS, too, but I had a book about Amazon river dolphins as a kid and so my inner child is squealing in delight.

It's the books you had as a kid, right? Or, too, in my case, the books you read to kids: I had one that I adored, The Great Kapok Tree, so meeting the very-big ceiba (kapok) was huge for me.
