At about 8am, we left on motorcar to a small market with a port where we docked off for the Amazon River. We had the option of taking a small, slow boat or a speed boat. We opted for a small boat so that we can take it all in and try to get good shots of wildlife. Bad idea. It ended up taking us 3.5 hours to get back upstream. At one point, we were in the middle of the Amazon and it was pitch black all around. Crazy experience. It was all worth it in the end, but next time, I'm taking the speed boat.
Highlights of the day: monkeys jumping on Ryan and Peter (and hanging out on Ryan's shoulder for quite some time), carrying a sloth (I passed on the anaconda, but I'll post Allison's photo), seeing how the Yagua tribe lives and swinging from the trees (though the not so great part was getting a bunch of mosquito bites in the process).
