This time last week I was with my mom on a rainforest expedition along the Rio Negro, the largest tributary to the Amazon River. Now I'm back in front of my computer. Sigh.
Led by very knowledgeable local naturalist guides, we explored the rainforest by canoe and on foot, and stopped in villages in the Amazon River Basin. We not only got to enjoy the lush beauty of the jungle, but we got to learn a lot about the utility of plants in the rainforest, the habits of jungle animals, and the culture of Amazon villages and towns..
I will likely get a bit off-topic, but in coming weeks I'll be writing about different aspects of this trip, including medicinal plants of the rainforest and healthcare in Brazil.
