Day 2 in Peru

Hola! Today we went on a morning boat ride, visited the Yagua community (after a trek through the muddy jungle) and bought some stuff. Then we went for a refreshing swim off the boat dock and went piranha fishing. Tonight we will finish our time at Explorama Lodge with a night boat ride and stargazing

Hi I caught a piranha today! Hope everyone is having a great time! Miss everyone -Renee

Hey fam, having a great time in the Amazon and already becoming close with everyone. Second year in a row and still haven't caught a fish tho.. -Jacx

Hi everyone! Just wanted to let you all know that I have not gotten lost! I almost fought a piranha but last minute it fell off the hook. I'm having so much fun. Miss you all -Maddie G.

Hi mom and dad and Emilia !! Today I bought a blowgun just because so that was cool and dad I figured we can use it to shoot em when she's being annoying aka always. I also caught no piranhas when we went fishing for them so that was dumb and that means all my years on murray have been for nothing but it was still amazingly fun. Its beyond beautiful and amazing here. Oh I also saw a baby sloth today so holla. Tell Marlee and papa hi. Anyways i love and miss you all. -Kate

Hi fam bam, can't even put into words how much fun I am having. It's unbelievable here and I can't wait to tell you all about it! I swam In the jungle today, saw a sloth, and got to visit the Yagua village, and much more. So yeah, today has been pretty great! Love and miss you guys! -Willow

Hi fam! It's Rachel!!!! Today has been absolutely amazing. I got to dance the snake dance with the Yagua women, bought a blowgun, and go piranha fishing (but I failed miserably and didn't catch and fish). I also got to see pink Dolphins. PINK DOLPHINS! They were really cool and came right up to our boat. I also swam in the Amazon River and had a solid nap. It was a good day! Now I'm super hungry and ready for dinner, and then we are going stargazing tonight! I'm so excited! I love and miss you all, and Kathleen, I'm sending you a million hugs. - Rachel :)

Hi fam! I don't even know where to begin with how amazing this place is. From falling asleep to the sounds of the jungle to swimming in the Amazon River, today has been one of the greasiest days ever. I saw three pink dolphins today while going on a boat ride, and then went fishing for piranhas! I love it here!!! Miss and love you all! -Anna:)

Hey ma it's Liam. Having lots of fun. Not really sure when or if I'll post again but I love you and I hope you're gonna have fun in DC- Liam

Hi family and friends! I'm having such am incredible time. I feel so blessed to have good health, the money and the opportunity to travel and experience such a beautiful place. My favorite parts of the day were seeing the pink Dolphins, that came right up to our boat, and dancing with the Yagua people!! I can't wait to share more about my trip! Miss you a lot! -Caitlin

Hi mom and dad and Lauryn! I'm alive. You can stop cryin now mom. Sorry I never got to blog before today. It is absolutely beautiful here. Miss you guys and love you guys

Hi mom and dad and Chris. It's so beautiful here, every night is lit up with a chorus of insects and everything is green and vibrant. The Yagua people were friendly and I got some gifts for you. I love and miss you -Alicia

Hi Mamaduce and Ca$hMoney Ed, today I swam in the Amazon River and saw pink Dolphins. Then, I got a really bad headache. Alas, I am still alive and anxious for dinner because the food is wicked. Today I also pet a baby sloth and traded with the Yagua people which was pretty nifty. I found the perfect gift for you guys and Steffen and maybe Brian if he cuts his hair by the time I get back. I hope DC is awesome and you are all relaxing with your single child, see you in a week! Love you all.

Yo yo yo if your favorite son (obviously) Ben. I caught 5 piranhas today, and swam in the Amazon near Dolphins. I'm having a blast, and hope everything is well in mass. P.s. Please fix the car before I get home :) - Ben Smith
