Hi everyone! We are off the river and in Iquitos, Peru. We had a fabulous time, and have a ton of fish. 3 giant boxes of fish will be shipped out to America at the end of next week, and we will be getting them soon after we come home. The people on this trip have been wonderful. Here we have come from all over the world, and yet this hobby brings us together. The conversations were interesting and hysterical as we compare our lives and our perspectives. Turns out there are people as fish crazy as I am. My insane stories are just normal conversation here.

We have more pictures than we can even begin to upload right now as the connection is spotty and slow. However, we have managed to get some of the photos up. You can click on the picture and open up the gallery. We hope to have better internet connection tomorrow in Cusco, and be able to tell some of the stories that go with these images. For now, enjoy these glimpes of the beautiful, weird, and moving moments that we have experienced.

As we are thoroughly exhausted, we are going to crawl in bed and sign off.

Buenas noches!

Well, the flight from Los Angeles to Lima was good. We took LAN Airlines, it was really nice. There were even two meals served with wine or beer.

It’s almost 3am, and we can’t check in for our 6:30 am flight to Iquitos until 3:30 am. So, Jen decided it would be a good idea to work on re-stringing one of the nets so it is ready to go for tomorrow. She has definitely been getting some looks from people walking by.

I expect this is our last post until next week as we will head straight from the Iquitos airport to the boat. So, stay tuned for updates.

We’re so excited to be off! So much preparation turned into just a few bags by the door. Maybe thats why it wasn’t until walked up to check our bags, did it really sink in. WE ARE ON OUR WAY TO THE JUNGLE!!

We made it through the airport easily, and had time for a quick toast at the bar to a safe and wonderful trip.

We will try and post when we get to Lima, and again in Iquitos.
