I'm not sure how long it takes to get jaded about swimming with dolphins. The forest was cool, but my experience of the Amazon was actually that all the plants looked alike, though that's largely because I didn't know much about plants at the time. I found the foliage more interesting at higher elevations, and I do now grow a few of those plants. I'm waiting for someone to hire me to do a garden installation in Antarctica.

I've never been to the Amazon, but it's #2 on my list right after Antarctica. (Probably more plant sightings along the Amazon.) The swim sounds like an adventure--The guides weren't right in there with you, huh? Sounds like a trip to remember. I’ve never been to the Amazon, but it’s #2 on my list right after Antarctica.
