I'm in the middle of another *real* post, but I made this list of 10 interesting jungle things while at the colpa the other morning, so I thought I'd share:
1. Spiders that I considered to be "big" at home are now allowed to build webs in the corners of my bed's mosquito net. Spiders that are actually big are fortunately only out at night.
2. Ants are terrifying; they fly, they bite, they make you feel like you're on fire, they can be over an inch long, and they are EVERYWHERE.
3. There is nothing in life that smells worse than a herd of peccaries... except maybe a herd of wet peccaries.
4. I have a new found respect for SoCal water after drinking brown water for a month and a half. I've actually kind of forgotten what clear water looks like, so I don't mind this stuff anymore.
5. Chocolate in the jungle is equivalent to cigarettes in prison. There are laptops and iPhones and whatnot lying out in the open, but it's chocolate that people lock up.
6. I will shamelessly scavenge for food from the remains of the tourist breakfast... like a dog in a trash can.
7. Nothing will make you climb a tree faster than incoming rain clouds, because once you've seen them you have two minutes until you're soaked.
8. You don't quite realize how loud scarlet macaws can be until you're climbing to their nest to steal their children.
9. The three most common topics of conversation are chocolate, sex, and diarrhea.
10. Five minutes after you put something down or walk through an area, there will probably already be a spider building a new web there.
Hoping to get the next post in soon!
