Sorry this is delayed our Internet was down....
Anyway we went to Pilpintuwasi today which means house of the butterflies :)
Here are some of the things we saw...
Then their was the crazy Austrian woman who runs the farm...
She's a botanist by trade and came to Peru 20 years ago to study the host plants of various butterfly species, the host plant is the specific plant a butterfly lays it's eggs on... She spent six years doing this, during that time she fell in love with Peru and never left :) she's kinda a crazy nature woman, living away from civilization in the woods with her animals, I've been to the butterfly farm three times and never have I seen her wear shoes or a bra... The picture above is of her and Pedro the Jaguar
There was also this monkey that followed us around displaying his male dominance, at one point he demonstrated for us the golden shower, which is when he relieved himself and then bathed in it, it was quite charming... He also tried to steal a member of our groups purse :)
Crazy lady and her baby coati, an Amazonian Raccoon
She has other monkeys too, but this one was much cuter than our golden shower friend
After we got back from the airport we collected the remaining seven members of the mission team from East Minster church in Columbia SC
Had some lunch and took the new arrivals on their own city tour then we turned in early :)
That's all forks
Location:Iquitos Peru
