Peru Photos - January 13 - 23, 2008

Floating houses in Iquitos, Peru

Piranha that Jeremy caught and we later ate for lunch! Chomp!

Philodendrons grow quite large here!

Pretty Amazon flower of some kind or another =) (this one´s for you, Shana N.!)

Jeremy holding a baby gator!

Canopy pathways above the rainforest

Canopy pathways above the rainforest for scale and simple construction

A Pink dolphin photo (we didn´t take this picture, but couldn´t find the photographer´s name to give them credit for it)

Us just before the rain began...look at those clouds in the background...oh boy, we´re going to get wet!

The sloth came down from the tree right in front of our boat! They only do that about once a week! What a great photo opportunity, despite the rain pouring down!

Dennis the Giant Anteater

Charlie the Capybara (a rodent of unusual size!)

Giant Water Lillies

Blowguns are cool.

Sweet Yagua Indian girl and the baby sloth

Mikol and the baby sloth!

Too fun! Why won´t you stop licking my forehead?!?!?!?!? LOL

Jeremy and the baby brown woolly monkey, who wouldn´t leave his arms - sooo cute!

Jeremy and the Saddleback Tamarin alien monkey!

Mikol and the red monkey whose name we have forgotten, who greeted our boat on Monkey Island when we arrived!

Roughing it in the Amazon...ah, the pool and jungle slide of Ceiba Tops!
