One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I took a 10 day cargo boat down a tributary to the Amazon in the central jungle of Peru.

Another time in Ecuador I saw someone unload a sheep from the top of the bus I was on. The sheep must have been on that roof for at least 3 hours, and we were driving down a giant mountain from 4800 meters to sea level without any real road.
