Because DW and I are deep in Peru's Amazon basin, Internet is spotty, at best, and I wasn't even sure if I'd be able to post anything for the rest of this week.
I had written yesterday's post while we were still in Cusco and I was suffering the effects of a high altitude on my already weakend lungs. We've been at altitudes for which I'm more accustomed and so I've been feeling fine since last Thursday.
Except for that day I lost, in Lima, due to traveller's diarrhea. I'll spare you the details.
We said goodbye to our kids as a taxi spirited them to Lima airport, and to their respective homes. As their dad, I was in constant touch and tracked their flights back to Canada.
Not great when your room has no glass windows.
The next morning, we were picked up by folks who run a resort a few hours down the Rio Tambopata, were we have a bungalow that backs onto dense jungle that is teeming with life. Two other couples (one, from Switzerland and the other, South African who now make their home in North Carolina) are with us and a guide, who is nothing short of amazing, is taking us all over this region for five days.
Days are action-packed and worth the heat, humidity, and hungry insects.
I'll have more to say, in the coming days, assuming I have Internet. Tomorrow, I'll share some images that I've captured in the jungle.
Stay tuned.
