It was when I went over the first set of rapids backwards, without anyone else within sight or earshot that I realised what I was doing might not be wholely safe. But floating down a jungle river in a rubber ring sounded so fun. In retrospect I should have worn suncream, shades and take water. Or else got on the Huck Finn raft like everyone else.
Anyway, I spent the last few days in the Amazon. Or at least a sanitised, gringo-friendly bit of the Amazon. Barely any mosquitoes, didn't see a sloth and didn't even get a little bit kidnapped by blowdart weilding natives. Rubbish.
Did see a shaman. I was hoping it would fulfil all my Fierce Invalid fantasies. In reality I just saw an old man spit on Tash.
Jungle Highlights:
Tom winning $50 off Lana by putting fireants in his pants.
Leafcutter ants carrying Doritos.
Dave the stick insect's bulbous mouth.

When a monkey stole Michael's cake.
Weirdest thing I ate: Ants, straight from a nest.
Most dangerous thing I put on my head: A scorpion spider.

a) Fireants? in Tom's real-life pants, next to his wigglies? O..m...g.
b) Great, the first reference to Fierce Invalids. This far into your travels, lax. But it's there now.
c) Weirdest thing I've eaten today: Reese's peanut butter cups.
Kids do say omg in my classes, but usually they're taking the piss, tf imho.
