Amber and I both like to think that we stay away from international travel cliches. We do our best to speak the local language, and neither of us have ever taken an organized tour in our lives (unless forced to by a parent). English and package holidays are for unoriginal American lame-asses.
Having said that, we´re taking a six-day tour to Angel Falls with a bunch of Americans and Europeans who don´t speak Spanish.
First day involves a drive through the savannah into the jungle, six hours or so up one river into a lake, then up another river. We´ll camp with an indiginous family the first night, then hike to another jungle community to spend the second night. A few more boat rides, four more days of camping, lots of walks and rides around waterfalls in the table mountains.
We´ll be back in a week. Then off to Brazil almost immediately, where we´ll find a friendly ATM so that we can actually pay for this little excursion.
Yay, we´re tourists.

Relax, it's good for you!! And besides, you might teach the other tourists a bit about being human. Enjoy!
Ditto from the Craigs re photos! Double hint.

Hey Guys,
Really enjoying reading about your ventures in Venezuala and T&T. You are living life in such a "free" way. I love the way you are opening up that part of the world to us through this blog. It helps expand our minds. Enjoy all those beaches for us too.
God Bless,
June and the boys
