AMAZON ADVENTURE（１） (Documentary report at Amazon rainforest)

第６回　AMAZON ADVENTURE (1)
                             　  （BY SUSAN GOODMAN）





"Check it out! " Kevin shouted, pointing to something swimming in the world's largest river, the Amazon.

From the deck of a river boat, Kevin and his friends watched rare river-dolphins flash past.

Then the kids looked toward shoreーat the houses on stilts, the banana plants, and the palm trees. This place was so different from home!

Who were these lucky kids, and what were they doing in the Amazon rainforest? They were junior high students from Michigan. And they were taking part in a Children's Rainforest Workshop.

All through the school year they had studied rainforests. They also worked hard earning money to help pay for the trip.

Now all their leaning would come to life as they spent a week in a small corner of the world's largest rainforest.

LIFE IN THE FOREST

After flying to the city of Iquitos, Peru, the kids cruised 50 miles (80 km) down the amazon.

The boat finally docked at a jungle hideaway called Explorama Lodge.
