This last weekend I went to Los Llanos, which is in the country here - in the plains. It was really pretty and they had so many stars at night. We slept in hammocks.
We went pirana hunting. Matt was the only one to catch one, besides the guides. When you catch one you have to bash it over the head and kill it before removing it from the hook. If you don't, it will try to eat you. We got to eat the pirana for dinner. It tastes a lot like walleye, but walleye is better.
We also went on a safari on a boat that looked straight out of National Geographic. We saw blind dolphins and turtle that eat pirana.
Later, we got to hold an anaconda that they had found.
Also, camp had a pet parrot, and two pet anteaters. One of the anteaters was 8 days old and the other was 2 months old.
Finally, we went horseback riding. The horses had to be commanded in Spanish, which was fun.
Overall, it was a very interesting weekend. The only really bad part is that I now have 3 mosquito bites on my butt ((the mosquitos were terrible there)). I can live with that, though, as long as I don't come down with malaria or dengue.
love,
Abii
