My dear Amazon Jungle Warriors,
I hope you all are rested and that the mosquito bites have all left your bodies.
I am in my last day at Don´s house enjoying the final moments of sweet jungle air and sounds of birds. A couple of the kids are sitting next to me, being lovely as usual. I, personally, am still recovering from your scary stories from last night´s camping adventure. Are those midnight footsteps really from Danilo?!
I imagine being back in the comforts of air conditioning has been quite nice, but I can´t imagine that it feels the same as rafting down the Amazon or wandering the boulevard in Iquitos. I´m sure you all miss our French toast feasts as much as I miss watching your after-dinner dance parties.
Now that you all are back home, dispersed across the United States, I hope you have time to sit, smile, and to reflect on the friendships you made (with each other and all the little ones here!), and the time you all spent with us in the jungle. It really is an amazing place, and you all really were an amazing group.
Cheers to swimming in the estanque and jungle photo shoots.
Love,
-Amanda
