Pantanal, State of Parana, Brazil
Sunday, January 24, 2010
We have just left a farm that I want to tell you about. It was a wetland area in Brazil near Bolivia called the Pantanal. This area has animals, fishes, birds and mosquitos which they kept biting me. It is summer there and it also rains alot .
We did lots while we were there. We went horse riding four times and it was exciting. I went Pirhana fishing and I caught one and Fynn and Edie caught two. It had four sets of sharp teeth. I fed my fish to the Caiman. We went night and day safari. On a boat trip we saw monkeys, birds and a Tarantula swimming in the river. When we about to leave we milked the cows which we drank with chocolate.
The most frightening thing was when I went horse riding and I found out later that there was a 2m 8 Caiman swimming by my foot. Another thing I saw was an Anaconda under a tree which was 8m long, a teenager. It was slimey and mummy and I were scared.
You have to come here it is sooooo cool.
Love Lily

Hi Lily
Have just caught up on the Priests blog. So sorry for the delay in writing!
What a great video and story and that is my favourite Michael Jackson song.
You all look as if you have grown quite a bit since we last saw you and what adventures you are having. Lucky things!! Saw Grandma and Grandpa a couple of weeks ago and we all said how much we are missing you. Love to you all.
Auntie June, Uncle Joe and Paul
