Nov 11 - you should have seen the one that got away



Boating on the Tahuayo River



Went fishing again this morning. I almost caught a fish, but it escaped the hook right at the surface (I swear I did, and he was huge, too. At least 9 feet ... Well, maybe only 9 inches). In the end, I didn't catch anything ... Again. Orlando caught a barracuda (it was too small to keep) and a pacu. We saw some small bats on tree and again visited the pygmy marmosets on the way home.

Saddleback Tamarin





After lunch we went for our first daytime hike in the jungle behind the lodge. We again saw pygmy marmosets, as well as saddle-backed tamarins (the 3rd type of primate here) digging in the trees and eating the sap out. The must have really enjoyed their snack, since they didn't even react to us.

We got caught in the rain, so I was soaked by the time we got back. After a shower, I sat on my porch with Dave, Bill, and Nelly enjoying a glass of wine and watching the rain.

We had hoped to go canoeing tonight, but could not because of the rain. At least most of the rain has been at night, and then it REALLY rains. I cannot believe the increase in the water already due rain.
