Ready for a weekend in the Amazon

It's Semana Santa (Holy Week), so I have a mini-break from teaching. School is closed today and tomorrow. I'm taking it easy today by trying out the high altitude brownie recipe Tonya sent me (muchas gracias!) and preparing for my weekend trip to the AMAZON. I'm seriously excited. I'm flying Friday morning, out of the cool mountain air and into the hot, steamy jungle. I've been promised lots of monkeys (I would hope so, since I'll be hiking Monkey Island. I can't wait to feed one a banana) and possibly an anaconda (which I'll admire from a safe distance), among lots of other creatures. I'll be back on Sunday to tell you all about it. Happy Easter!
