The Bible never said anything about God ingesting hallucinogens

April 30, 2012:  The past week was all about pulling knowledge from the brains of several agents working with Paramaribo tour companies and then ultimately dodging them and their exuberant costs for their hand held trips into the Amazon jungle, going freestyle.

Meeting an Australian with a natural born talent for drinking and cheating at Yahtzee, we 1st traveled to Brownsberg Nature Reserve.  This place held a collection of pretty much eventless, bland, calorie whacking trails while sleeping in an open shelter where we were able to hang our hammocks.

Even though the trails did not hold much excitement during the day, in the wee hours of the night, the assortment of insects, reptiles, spiders, poisonous snake and amphibians loitering around made the nature reserve one the most interesting free roaming collection of living creatures I have seen in South America.  The moths were spectacular, looking as if God ingested a batch of hallucinogens and forgot about his original guidelines on how these insects were going to appear - showing what you can do with lots of power and a chemically altered imagination.  Messing up so badly with some of these life forms and not wanting to erase what he has done, he decided to hide them in the Amazon with the hope that nobody in their right mind would see them… 
During my 4 day stay on the reserve, I was a successful paparazzi of insects, capturing over 725 moments including video footage of a murderous lizard stalking my leafy looking muti-legged subject before executing him.  Life as a human can be miserable at times but life as an insect is possibly one of the top 10 miserable lives on the planet.
