Hi guys. I’m emailing you from Amazon where the team and I are in our seventh day of research. Camping out here has been an incredible experience. You can’t even imagine how noisy it is in the jungle at night and how frightening it is hearing sounds coming from creatures that you can’t see but know are there. For the most part, we have all been jogging along without any problems although on the second day Michael became dehydrated so we cut the journey short for him to rest and get back into shape. That can happen so easily here so you have to be careful to keep drinking water. My asthma has also been giving me some problems. Luckily I have some steroids with me to throw in my inhaler that helps me out in the particularly steep climbing spots. In our six nights here we have so far had to remove five snakes from our tents. It’s amazing how they can just slither in through any crevice. The mosquitoes are a pain but we only really notice them at night when we aren’t moving. Every muscle in my body is killing me from all the walking and bending and climbing we are doing each day. So many critters we are finding are high up in the trees so, being the youngest and most agile, I’m the one sent up to catch them for observation. It was definitely a good idea to pack my bodybuilding supplements that I mix with water each morning. I think without them I would feel much weaker before each long day is finally over. That’s all for now, I’ll write you again next week after we’ve moved onto the water life here in the Amazon. Take care!
