Here’s a little sneak peak of Alex’s Amazing Amazon Adventure

More important than any Semester at Sea Update:

CONGRATULATIONS SAMI POP ON BEING ELECTED SENIOR CLASS PRESIDENT OF WESLEYAN! I guess that makes you kind of a big deal and me the first twin. Love you so much oobi.

Jenny and I buying the village kids ice cream.

Fishing for Piranhas!

Awesome sunset!

The giant caiman that swarmed out of the guides hand and onto my thigh...

Richard and I chilling on our hammocks!

I had an amazing time sleeping on a hammock and living on a riverboat for three days. Some highlights included seeing the meeting of the waters (Amazon River and Rio Negro), catching caimen (alligators), trekking through the jungle, seeing pink dolphins, beach parties, playing soccer in a local Amazonian village, and piranha fishing! The trip was incredible but one serious downfall was that as of the plane rides back to the ship 15/28 students on my boat got VERY sick (puking and diarrhea). I thought I was in the clear but alas, at 4:48 PM yesterday the plague hit me. Two shots, immodium, cipro, and 15 hours of sleep later I am feeling better. Never overestimate the Amazon- unless you’re Jenny Feuer and have a superior immune system.

The real post about Brazil will come in the near future- I have two tests and a project that I need to complete before I blog. Stay tuned. Fort Laudy and home in 9 days.
