I've been to Iquitos Peru, where our church is building a camp



on the Italia River a tributary of the Amazon which is one of two rivers that make Iquitos an island in the jungle. I have swam in the Amazon with the Piranha, electric eels, and pink dolphins.....
I love the people and hope to return.



This is how they live.........



This is an outhouse......



Here's a couple of buddies I made.....would love to take them for a ride in a C3......heck, in a car period.



It changed my life.......... Makes you appreciate the things we have...........count your blessings!

If this thread is about C3 tattoos or tattoos in general...I spent 4 years in the Navy and never got drunk enough to get one. Imagine that, a sailor without a tat? I see they're all the rage with the younger generation now.

Thanks for sharing. Some experiences in life become a part of you - which is evident here. Good work!

That is cool... Looks like you made some good friends there and helped them at the same time. Good on you! No tats, but thanks for sharing your story and pics.

Hate to tell ya, but piranha, electric eels, and pink dolphins ain't ALL you swam with!!!



In 2009, my son and I visited Machu Picchu in the Peruvian Andes, along the Urubamba River...what a treat!

I am not into what you call ink but I admire what you are doing with the Peruvian people.

Spent many a months in Peru and Bolivia many moons ago. Maccu Piccu, yes, but most was in poor regions. Yep, really puts things into perspective. Your efforts will make a difference to somone. Tatoos aren't my thing though. Thanks for sharing.

Sorry, no tats. Plenty of scars though.
Funny how most of the scars are on my left hand/arm because the sharp objects are usually in my right hand when the accidents happen!
