Shelly took me to the jungle for my birthday . . . not just ANY jungle, but the Amazon rainforest jungle, just the biggest one in the world! We had a fabulous time, seeing monkeys, birds, frogs, anaconda snakes, and insects of all types and descriptions. All the while, we were staying at a remote lodge on a beautiful lake, hours from the nearest town. Daily and nightly excursions led by great naturalist and native guides, along with great meals in a beautiful setting. We left convinced that the rainforest is a resource we need to keep and protect . . . for many birthdays to come.
