Adventure (Gabby)

We are still in the Amazon basin and have been seeing many species of butterflies and insects. There has been tons of run despite the fact that it is not the rainy season. This has made it difficult to shoot because of the lack of light and because the humidity is really affecting the equipment. Yesterday we had quite an adventure - my companion Rick was stung by a wasp and ended up having a severe allergic reaction to the venom despite the fact that he is not allergic. He actually turned blue at one point and we had to take a team of 6 men to carry him out of the forest on a ladder/stretcher. He is fully recovered now but the symptoms ranged from a swollen tongue, lack of motor control, to a severe 6 hour headache. There are some scary things down here.

More soon!
