No rain in the rain forest yet--knock on wood!

The bluest sky since home:
A fishing excursion was the morning activity--
Ten fisher folk, ten piranhas:
but, sadly, none were mine. Three of us were shut out, so I'm not alone in my failure!

 Hammock time followed--
And for lunch, we ate the piranhas! They are bony but tasty.

Afternoon was a walk to the almost adjacent Yagua village. They performed some dances


and included us, that was fun. Then we tried the blow gun,
and I actually hit the target--that was funner!

Shopping followed


Though we saw some squirrel monkeys near the village, the whole troupe of them wandered to the lodge and dared each other to come and get bananas tossed on the ground for their eating pleasure:


That's my day! So good evening, my friends, tomorrow we will transfer to the other lodge, which has more amenities than this one--two nights here instead of three! 

One minor difficulty: I seem to be allergic to the rain forest! It is a bother but doesn't inhibit my participation, though I rest more in between than some people. I am enjoying this place, and with a pisco sour before bed, I will sleep well.
