after a long (but smooth) journey, we arrived this morning in puerto jimenez. we were greeted by arturo, a super friendly and helpful cab driver who took us to the fruit grocery store, to get something to eat, then to the "other" supermarket to pick up the amazing kids i'll be teaching. along for the 18-mile-but-40-minute ride came their nanny, Maria, and her son. it was a pretty epic journey into the rainforest on a road definitely well traveled by 4x4's. we saw a baby crocodile, or "croco-idle" in amara's language, some cows, a couple monkeys playing in the trees, and some gorgeous, lush plant life. this is a place that clearly nourishes and supports life. here are some of our first pictures...
