My friend is a little cayman found in the Rio Negro, a tributary of the Amazon. Actually, I didn't find it, but everyone in the canoe got a chance for a photo op.

The cool thing about the Rio Negro is that it is so acidic that bugs don't hang out there. It actually looks like strong brown tea. I didn't get any malaria shots in advance and there was no need to wear insect repellant.

I could go on and on, but it's late, and I feel you've been educated enough for tonight. After all, it IS summer vacation!
