Thems Big Otters

It's a cruddy drawing, I know, but I was distracted at the time. Mrs. Aziz had a speaker come in to class today with a slideshow about his travels to South America. Didn't sound that interesting at first, so I started drawing, but then he began to elaborate on the lovely mountain towns in Peru and the unbelievable architecture and things left behind by the Incas and Aztecs. Very cool. Plus, this guy was a real photo journalist and his photographs were nothing short of exquisite.

The last bit of his presentation involved the rain forests in Brazil, where we saw shamans and exotic beasts. There is one last thing I must take note of: there are giant otters, if you are not aware. There are giant otters...and they stand six feet tall on average. Holy balls.
