I'm a Piraña, I live in the Amazon

No big deal, I just spent the last three days on the Amazon river in Tena, Ecuador. 

So beautiful, so colorful, and so so fun.  We stayed at La Casa de Swiso, an incredible resort that over looked the Amazon river.  We stayed there for three nights, had every meal cooked for us, and then were able to relax and re-energize for our next adventure. 

We went on a hike through the Amazon jungle and it was pouring rain.  From there we also went to an animal sanctuary where we saw tons of birds and monkeys that are native to the jungle.  The animal sanctuary takes animals who have been taken from the jungle and kept as pets, which is illegal here in South America.  So, the animal sanctuary takes the animal in and settles them back into the native habitat.

Leaving the jungle was very hard.  It was such a lovely place to recuperate and not have to worry about social media and communicating with anyone.  I could just sit in the hammock on my porch, read my book, and enjoy the beautiful place I was in.
