Seeing (and feeling) Some Sights

Half of our group is in Lima, Peru waiting to fly out tomorrow. Those of us that are still in Pucallpa went out on a boat today about 1.5 hours to a tribal town. I think the ladies that did the O-H-I-O are from a tribe like this. They come into town in the mornings to sell their wares. Mostly the village was a place to buy stuff. It was ok, but nothing special. We ate at a really good place on the water, then headed off to the zoo.
There was quite a variety of animals, but of course the main draw were the snakes. They had three anacondas in a pen and the owner got one out for us to hold and get our picture taken with. It was about 18 foot long and weighted 150 pounds. As I was holding it, I thought one of the kids that was with us was grabbing my leg. Sure enough it was the snake. 18 feet is a lot to keep track of. Most of us held it and we got some really good pics.
We are just going to veg out the rest of the night and get packed for the morning. It has been really great getting to know some of the long term missionaries that are here. I look forward to them coming to our church to speak to us when they are back in the states. Tomorrow begins the long haul back home. I can not wait to share with many of you in person all that we have seen and done. I hope that these blogs have helped in some way to keep you informed of all we have seen and done. Thanks again for you prayers. 2 days. be blessed
