What was your favorite part of the adventure?
We are a little sad to be back in the United States. Our time in the Amazon has been amazing in every way. We've met so many new friends, learned so much about life in the rainforest, and spent some wonderful days paddlings canoes that we don't want it to end. Our memories will last a long time, but we want to know how you'll remember your experience as a part of the expedition. We think of you as expedition team members who are just as important as anyone on our team.
What were your favorite events or parts of the expedition? And why?
What parts of the Wilderness Classroom web site did you like most? And why?
We love hearing your feedback about what you liked. If there was something you didn't like, please let us know too so we can change it for the future.
Wednesday's Daily Dilemma about life in the city versus life on the river had some good ideas to keep us safe. Thanks for all of you who encouraged us to enjoy ourselves while here in Manaus. We've been eating lots of ice cream and sleeping in until 7:30! But don't worry, we won't get too soft staying in the city. We're looking forward to our return to the Amazon in October.
We'll also make sure to travel in groups after dark to avoid thieves and muggers. We'll always use caution when crossing big roads or driving in cars. Remembering to be safe at all times is important for all of us.

We enjoyed the Anaconda in the Rainforest Library, all the poisonous dart frogs you have encountered, the launcha, the jaguars, Mystery Photo and when you went and find animals.
