On our way home... at last...

We are out of the jungle, and spent the night in a 5 star hotel in Iquitos, with air conditioning! We are gathering in less than an hour to head for the first of our four flights back home...

Iquitos is unlike anyplace I could have imagined. We had a nice meal last evening on a floating restaurant on the Amazon, and took motorcyle rickshaws back to the hotel on the main square. It was a holiday yesterday (All Saints Day?) and the square was filled with people. We had a nice ice cream cone ( 1 sole = 33 cents), and walked toward a gathering to see what was so interesting. We´ve traveled thousands of miles, only to find the amazing spectacle of... a Michael Jackson impersonator, performing Thriller and Billie Jean.

We have a long day ahead, traveling through the night, but we are certainly looking forward to seeing "all y'all" soon!
