Sunday May 9th, 2010



Happy Mother's Day! This morning a large group of us drove out to a dam to swim with the fish camera. Mike and Fernando caught a piranha while swimming around with a harpoon gun and scuba goggles. Apparently there were also caiman and anaconda in the lake, but we didn't see any. We also saw a giant anteater on our drive out to the lake! Another group of guys stayed back to practice their machete skills, they might even get a trail named after them.

After lunch, we got to listen to Carson and Jackson, the two primatologists, talk about their research and experiences so far in Guyana and Surinam. The rest of the day will most likely be spent lounging in hammocks and playing cards.
