We ran to the thick part of the jungle and tried to find some trees to climb, but none had low enough branches that I could reach. Susie found one because she is taller, and I ran around a while looking for one I could reach. I couldn't, so I grabbed hold of a large, dead vine and swung until I got to a branch I could reach and climbed up the tree, which happened to be the same one Susie was in.

We talked about trying to make it back to the truck, but we were suddenly interrupted by our guide, who said we could now go back. On our way back out of the woods, we came to a watering hole where the cats were drinking. Susie asked if they would still try to get us, although I instinctively knew they wouldn't. The guide said no they wouldn't, and the danger was passed.

We got back in the truck to leave, and I looked over the side to see an Ocelot that was looking at me. I said, "Hello, Ocelot," and it seemed to smile back at me. Then, we left back over the same hill we crossed in the first place.
