Hi Charlie, I think Iquitos is pretty calm now. When I left there was not word on the street about any more protests. I wouldn´t expect anything now that the problems in the north are settled for the moment. I haven´t stayed at Ceiba Tops.It´s too much of a resort for me, but if the weather had been not been unseasonably cool, Iwould have gone ther the last night to take advantage of the air conditioner. You´ll love it down there. Let me know if you go and I can help you with ideas about what to see and where to go without getting riped off.
peru Heading to Lima and Iquitos next week. 2 pilots and Spanish speaking Mechanic. Paxs plans changed because of
threat of strikes in Cusco. Had planed on spending a week in Iquitos, 3 nights at Ceiba Tops. Now we need to decide
to stay in Lima or head on to Iquitos. Any thoughts. Thoroughly enjoying your trek. Hope you get home without too
much headache.

So Sorry Phil,
I am so sorry that you are not feeling well...hopefully you will be better soon...there is nothing worse than to be on a trip of all trips and BE SICK! I sure hope that you got some pictures of the parade...a swine flu float?...was a sick pig?
Take care and enjoy Machu Picchu.

Too Cute Phil,
This sounded like so much fun! The baby sloth....I would have never thought that the kids could have one for a pet....did you hold it? it looks like it would be soft...like a koala bear.
