I was reminded, yesterday, why the rainforest bears that name. It rained about noon and didn't stop until we were back in the albergue. We didn't see much wildlife: couple turtles, birds, a lizard, frogs. Nothing I would call "jungle." This part is a lot like Seattle, just more humid, with bigger and nastier insects. 3/10 rating for the tour and unprepared tour agency.
So, besides the tour, the rest of the mission is... meh. The group is cool, really young and full of energy, but there's more drama than normal. Mostly we're not getting the support that the municipality promised us, and so there are budget issues. The clinics are going well, and either are really busy or really empty, and it wears on us either way.
It's very hot and humid. The bugs are HUGE. Mosquitoes, grasshoppers, beetles, etc. I don't like it at all. All sorts of nasty, biting bugs to make life miserable. Anyway, some photos to keep everyone a little happier.
