Kon-tiki

When the jeep arrived they got in and headed toward the rain forest.  When they got there, there was a muddy river that they had to get across with their jeep.  Some natives took their balsa raft and poled them across.  Finally they got to where the man lived who owned the balsa trees.  He said that it would be difficult to get the balsa logs because of the rain, but he would do his best.  That day however they just stayed around his house and hung out.  

This man had many orchid plants in coconut-shell pots.  These orchids were not normal orchids which do not smell, these orchids smelled amazing.  

Herman, Thor's friend, bent down to smell one of the flowers while above him a snake slithered slowly down above his head.  The man who owned the balsa trees took his staff and whacked the snake and then killed it.  He told Thor and Herman that the snake was poisonous.  He also told them that there were many other poisonous animals in the rain forest and that they should be careful.  That night Herman and Thor slept poorly waking up believing that some poisonous animal would sneak up and kill them.
