I’ve been feeling very Jack Hannah lately…
In the past few days, I’ve played with monkeys, cuddled a 3-toed sloth, wrapped myself in snakes, and been a perch for exotic birds. I figured I’d see animals when I came here, but never thought I’d get as close as I did. (I mean, a baby monkey even fall asleep in my arms!)
Here are some of my fave photos.
But first… I have to divulge a little secret, since you’ll see glimpses of it in the pics: I had a little vacation romance. He’s Australian. His name is Michael. He’s funny, smart, and a Thai massage therapist – all great qualities. He also plays a mean digiridoo.
Our love affair involved lots of shared food and ice cream, philosophical conversations, belly laughs, trying new experiences, and walking hand-in-hand through the streets of Iquitos. Super cute. 🙂
He just left to spend a few weeks in the jungle, so I’ll probably never see him again – but he was a great vacation boyfriend while it lasted. In all, about a week.
Ok, on to the animals. Michael is the shaggy human-like one…
