By water? By air?

Meredith is rinsing her feet off in a little pool. The hard thing was to decide whether to do it or not. We did not have to pack in a lot of water because there were several sources throughout the trip, so we could just filter it. We were so hot and sweaty we just wanted to jump in. However, all the books say not too because of all the parasites in slow moving water. Pete and Marianne just got right in and the rest of us just splashed ourselves to rinse off. On the first day at about 4:00 we hiked up to an opening in the canopy and got a view of the rainforest from up above. Unfortunately, we only saw one bird and heard monkeys from a distance.
