Playing with Boas and Aquarium Plants

Making friends with a Peruvian...Neither of us spoke Spanish--perfect!

Leaf-cutter ants literally mobbing the road for about twenty square feet.

  These plants are called water cabbage and can be sold in the U.S. for $1 apiece.  

 
                                                                    
     Another Peruvian friend I met at the zoo.  He rather reminded me of our family cat.

Love the foliage here!
