Along the Northern Amazon-- How beautiful when I first behold her!...
Unbroken towers of green: untamed Watery seams--; (she has) Exuberant patience with everything..
..
Some intrusions, here and there, But yet she isn't defaced by 'Jungle Madness": Ego tourism, she can bear.
Safe as the endless sky, thicker than an Alligator's hide...
; to get to know her, One must UN-humanize their view--at first: To become, confident, this is what: we are of.
#1014 1/28/2006 Note and short commentary:when I was in the Amazon, 2001, some of the great and breathe-taking scenes were the Giant Lilies; young puma cats, cocoa plants, rubber plants, it was a world unto itself.
I'm not a nature person, but I could become one after seeing the several jungles around the world I've seen.
In the Amazon, its tropical look is all around you; paddle boats, boats of many kinds, going up and down the river.
I talked about going to the Amazon for 10-years, my friend Diane Horton, retired school teacher, had reminded me of that when I was ready to go, back in 2001.
It is a river full of Piranha, I ate the two I caught (my wife ate the one she caught: Rosa); and of course it is a land of snakes, and pink dolphins, as I saw them leisurely going down the Rio, and yes, I had to swim in the river, just to say I did it.
The Amazon from Iquitos by boat, down the long wide river where I was going, was about 125-miles, there are lodges for tourists, from primitive to a ting better.
At night time I went tarantula hunting; they sleep under the big roots of giant trees, my wife hid behind me, when our guide woke a couple up with his magical stick.
Also in Iquitos, is where the Iron House is, designed by Mr.
Eiffel, who designed the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Also, in the deep heart of the Amazon, is the world's longest canopy, I went up its 115-foot height to the point I could peak over the top of the trees of the jungle, what a sensation.
