:DI am currently residing in the Amazon, wondering if anyone else out there is sharing the jungle with me.:D

Julien

Hi El Segundo, and welcome :)

Where in the Amazon are you? Why did you move there? Can you tell us how it is to live there? Lots of questions I know but we are very curious here ;)

Take care of yourself,

Julien

Julien

I almost forgot, could you please locate yourself on the user map? That would be VERY nice :)

Merry Christmas Julien and Thanks for the welcome.
The weather is hot, the mosquitoes are bad at times. For me it is no worse than Southern Florida most of the time. I speak Spanish, and have a local wife. Life is slow and easy here. I live along a tributary of the Amazon River, in the Peru-Colombia-Brasil border region. We have a small ¨chacra¨ or farm, live on fruit, chicken and fish. I wouldn't trade it for all the ¨civilised¨ countries on earth. The people are warm and friendly, and life has it's own pace.
Merry Christmas, again.

Thanks a lot Segundo, I wish you a very good Christmas too!

How nice it is to speak with you, I can't imagine where you are, but I'd like to discover the Amazon one day. Have you got any picture of where you are? How can you have access to the internet in the Amazon?

You've made a choice that I entirely understand, I am sure you feel free every morning!  You've got all my respect Segundo :)

How funny to speak to someone in the Amazon (I am in the south of France)!

Podemos hablar en español si quieres :)

Felizes navidades,

Julien
