Building a Future for Ecuador’s Fauna at Merazonia
Imagine zooming along winding mountain roads in a rickety old bus, feasting your eyes on the changing scenery heading south from Quito, insatiable. Imagine chatting away with an amicable Ecuadorian who points out various sights: a famous waterfall, a deep ravine, a bridge off which to bungee jump, a good discoteca, his own restaurant. Imagine being dropped off […]
Returning Home From South America
I finally faced returning home from South America. I’m back in Canada. I’m so sad! Why am I not still in South America? Why did I buy a return ticket? The flights to Houston and Toronto were comfortable. In Houston, I changed my soles into American dollars to buy some lunch. I had lots of money when I […]
A Few Days in Lima: Sights, Walks, and Family Meet-Ups
I only spent a few days in Lima, two to be precise, and they were both pretty good. I met up with Percy on Sunday night and he showed me a few of the districts of Lima, as well as the beach and the Pacific Ocean. We next spent about an hour with his cousin’s family. Angela, a […]

And I visited a zoo, where again I didn’t think the animals were well-kept […]
Tambopata to Puerto Maldonado
The day I took the Rio Tambopata to Puerto Maldonado did not start off well. In fact, if I moved to Picaflor, I’d have to evict Pico. He left before I did this morning. With no idea where he was, I was ticked off. On Tuesday, the taxi-boat drove right by and we had to chase it down […]
Last Day at Picaflor Research Centre
Today’s my last day at Picaflor Research Centre. Oh, no! I woke before the sun was up and went down to the river to watch the sunrise. It was so calm and beautiful, it was hard to stop watching. But it was my last chance to be in the jungle at dawn, so I pulled myself away. I […]
