What did you do today?

I hope you did something awesome. Oh, you want to know what I did today? Well, let me think:

I road a boat to a teeny resort (for lack of a better word; it's like a hotel, but it's bungalow-style and miles away from anyone else) in the middle of the Amazon.

We went fishing. Yes, I caught a fish! Cindy got an awesome video of me freaking out; I'm not exactly a born fisher, apparently. (Although I did catch the second highest number of fish in our boat.)

Oh yeah, and besides catching a trout/sardine something-or-other, I caught a piranha!! Yes, you read that right. I CAUGHT A PIRANHA. In the Amazon. With a little bamboo fishing pole.

I'm not sure I have ever felt cooler.

That is, until about a half hour later when...

I held an ALLIGATOR! Actually, it was a cayman(sp?). They're basically small alligators.

We rode out at night, and the guys will stand on the front of the boat and shine a big flashlight around until you see the light reflecting red in their eyes. Then they kill the motor and go up super slowly so they don't run away. Then they reach in and grab them right out of the water with their bare hands!! Crazy, yes? And also super awesome!

So yeah...I hope you did something awesome today.

Because my day was fantastic.

Best day ever? Check.
