Little monsters on my legs.

When I was seven years old, in the Elementary School, on 3rd year, i had a normal dayin the school. I had Math, English, Geography and Spanish class. I took my snack and came out of the school.


When I was waiting my mom, I saw a lot of red and big ants on the sidewalk. I wanted to know if these small animals could sting person. I sat behind the ants and I looked a long time. Suddenly I felt a ticklish on my legs; the ants came up my legs and were sting my legs and my body. At the moment my mom arrived and shook my legs and my uniform.


The ants left red injuries on my legs. It hurt me very much. Actually I don't like ants and I hope never meet with these insects again.

The first time i came to the Amazon

When I first went to the Amazon, I was very nervous and excited. The Amazon is really different compared to my hometown Ibagué - Tolima. I traveled by plain because The Amazon is a huge jungle and there wasn't a road.
The capital of the Amazon is Leticia, this town is very small, however, it has people with a big heart. The people are a little shy but very positive and passive.
The Amazon rainforest there were a lot of indigenous tribes and fauna diversity.
The Amazon River is the largest river in the world, and natives of this area depend on this river for all: their food and productivity resources. This river is also their main way of travel; it is because of this that they don't use cars as much as they use canoes.

Mi first experience in The Amazon was going to the Primate's House. There was a specialist who took care of all the species. The providence of these animals was confiscations of black market raid of the Colombian Police. Such specialist was in charge of rehabilitating all of the monkeys.
It was my first experience in the Amazon. Always I felt excited, but at the beginning I was a little scared because the people told me that the Amazon rainforest is dangerous but it seemed quite normal to me .I hope to came back some day.
