The Rainy Season

The rainy season has finally set in here in the jungle...and while the river may be swollen and the rain plentiful there is a distinct drought of volunteers. Everyday it becomes harder to juggle people so that all of the animals get taken care of properly. In the shuffle, I have taken on the job of walking Gato...alone. Under normal circumstances Pumas are always walked by a pair of volunteers. In times of shortage, it is possible for one experienced volunteer to walk Gato by him or herself. I am both thrilled to have the opportunity and a bit disapointed that I did not perservere with Maggie. Still, I think things worked out the best in the end.

I have two weeks left here at Inti Wara Yassi and everyone is gearing up for Christmas. I find the concept of Christmas in the jungle hard to grasp but I think it will be a day to remember.
I only have two more weeks here before I head down to Mendoza to meet up with my parents.
