Amazon Jungle Day 2

---

We were awakened this morning by the squawking of two scarlet macaws and the wooly monkey. Apparently, they like to tease each other in a very noisy way. Our headlamps were a huge help last night. Since we're so close to the equator the days and nights are each about 12 hours long, so it gets dark about 6:00. This morning we hiked through the jungle to the canopy zip line. The hike was muddy and unbelieveably hot. We felt like extras in an Indiana Jones movie. The zip line had 3 platforms that were about 100 feet up in the canopy of the rainforest. We were harnessed up, hoisted to the first platform, then zipped from one to the next. It was great, but not nearly long enough. The heat was getting to Sally, and she ended up taking a horizontal timeout on the third platform until her head stopped spinning. After the hike back, we decided to take time off in the afternoon and enjoy the hammock house. There were several other guests at the lodge, and we enjoyed hearing about their years of travel. The tourists here all seem to be very experienced. We're in hopes of joining their experience level.
