I ate worms!

Chuntacuru is a type of grub worm that is found on a chunta plant.  Chuntacuru is a Quechua word.  That is the language of the Native Americans in Ecuador.  We went to a small town in Amazonia called Sapo Rumi.  We stayed with a family who are friends of ours and they cooked breakfast and lunch for us, and for dinner we had chuntacuru.  Native Americans that live in the Amazonia jungle eat chuntacuru for protein. 

Our friends loaned us rain boots so we could walk in the river to see an old petroglyph from more than 600 years ago.  A petroglyph is a story carved onto a rock with symbols. 

 

We also played some soccer.
