The Great Ant eater
We were on a trail walk and our guide all of a sudden said follow me. We took off for about a 1/4 of mile off the trail into the bush; we had no idea where we were going but made sure we stepped as close in his footsteps as we could.
All of a sudden we were waved to stop, now and he pointed and we saw movement, out of the bush can this Great Ant Eater, we tracked him for about 15 minutes, we could not see the trail but we made it back. I have a movie clip that i hope to up load
Here are some still pictures.

The Pantanal
The Pantanal of South America is one of the most immense, pristine and biologically rich environments on the planet. Often referred to as the world’s largest fresh water wetland system. Many people go to the Amazon but this place is just something special.
We stayed at an Eco Lodge, very nice place to stay, food, room, and a great guide.
I will just let my pictures tell the story of this beautiful place.

Travel Day
Today Friday the 25th is a travel day. We got up at 3 am for a 530 am flight leaving Brazilian Foz do Iguaçu International Airport (IGU) with 2 stops before we get to Cuiaba, The Pantanal (Portuguese pronunciation: [pɐ̃taˈnaw]) is the world's largest tropical wetland area, and is located mostly within the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso do Sul.
One of our stops was Brasilia airport, big and beautiful. This airport is places art on the walls made by various Brazil artists on the walls.
Yes, I ate at a MacDonalds, thre was not many options,we were very hungary.
As we got off the plane, an outdoor airport,so we walked in the weather. The weather was still not our friend, cold,raining,damp,overcast...
After arriving at the airport in Cuiaba, we found our guide and we were off to the Eco Lodge Araras. It would be a 3 hour rider in a bus. We drove through town and felt like a typical town in Brazil .
I knew I had picked the right group, when Marcko picked us up and Rocko was our driver. The rain was hitting the bus top and yes, water dripped onto my leg. The driver Rocko, was using a towel to wipe the fog of the window the heater or defroster was not working as it should.
What added to the joyful ride is that is was bumpy, just like my street in Grosse Pointe Woods, but this was a dirt road, I felt like I was in a popcorn popper, it was ruff.
The road has over 100 bridges over very tough terrain.
Lots of beautiful wildlife as we travel to the lodge in a light rain.
The journey continues.
Here are pictures of our day.
