The pictures scattered around this posting are supposed to show two themes. First some of the creatures we encounter on a field trip include a huge ¨wooly worm¨with a very interesting tail. One of the teachers was willing to show it on his arm. The monkey was a tame-wild camp monkey. He is free to run as he likes, but is clearly not afraid of humans. He is about the size of a very large rat. Of course, he was a constant pesk in the kitche, running over the food and the dishes. Didn´t seem to bother anyone but me.
There were two large parrots that were also tame-wild. They too came into the kitchen and dinning room at will. Some of our group were feeding them bread on the table. They enjoyed it so much they immediately left a ¨thank offering¨on the table before flying off. Again, I´m the only one bothered.
One picture above shows the camp from the river. It was actually about three times larger than the picture shows.
Finally, the kids had a lot of fun swimming in a waterfall and in the river. Of course kids go full blast all day and only crash when it is all over. It was a 12 hour day for all of us.

Looks like you are having more fun than you are allowed to have!

I'm surprised the animals by the food bother you. I remember it never bothered you to eat or drink expired products.

That wooly worm was beutiful in all its glory. I didn't know this was a National Geographic expedition. The floor where the hammocks were hung was interesting to me. It looked like it was made out of flattened bamboo. Is that possible? Beautiful camp area with great water and scenery and real thatched roofs probably from bamboo fronds ? Don
