Day 13- Piranha Fishing, Sunset of the Amazon


As our final day in the Amazon finally came around, we were all ready for our last and final adventure in the famed jungle. The best part of the whole Amazon was about to come. First up, was piranha fishing. This was like music to our ears and we were ecstatic!  We caught so many fish, probably because Sam, who does fishing for a living, was on our boat. I caught a pretty sparkly white and orange fish and felt so accomplished and proud of myself! Like you’d think that this was the first of many to come, but fishing for piranhas is a lot harder than it sounds. As the day neared toward the late afternoon, things started to slow down and get a little freer. For the rest of the day we were basically left to do whatever we wanted, that was within the rules obviously. Some people went back out to fish, but me and some other friends decided to have a little cool down and go for a risky swim in the Amazon! Clearly I survived that since I am writing this right now, and it was certainly worth it! This was a great wrap up to our Amazon stay and we were sure ready to head out!
