The Amazon Rainforest

As soon as I got off the plane I felt the heat.  Stifling heat that only comes with a special level of humidity.  As we flew in I peered out the window and saw the rain forest, stretching for miles.  Miles and miles of thick, lush, trees.  It was a while before I was immersed in the jungle.  A bumpy car ride, a boat, and a ten-minute hike through the trees brought me to my jungle lodge.
