SACHA LODGE SUNDAY.
The weather was far more complicated today. Heavy rains followed by strong sun. Many many species of birds and monkeys were seen. A giant (guide says 5 meter long but I can't imagine that to be true) caiman jumped and splashed in front of the dock.
We had our lecture on electric fish, followed by group skits. The Medicinal Plants group won the competition with their informative Plant Rap, but the popular award goes to the Super group which included cross dressing, bambil root tips (sometimes known as the 'penis tree'), and a surprise night jump into the lake (highly not recommended). We can thank one of our Alumni travelers for this most raunchy, dangerous, and hilarious skit.
SACHA LODGE TO QUITO, MONDAY
Our departure from the lodge went smoothly, with a canoe ride, hike, and then power canoe for two hours to Coca. In Coca we took the bus the airport and flew back to Quito. We find that Amazon basin stinky clothing stink more in Quito than it seemed to back in the jungle.
We're off to CENIT in a few minutes for a visit to one of our favorite Quito charities.
