KLP, yes! If I am feeling particularly energetic, I can even walk to the city park and river from where I live (but don't usually).

Alas, I fear our Lazzie would be comatose from boredom after a few days of this. - Holly

We don't visit "gutters". Just out of the way archaeological sites. While a jungle may not be your living roon, it is hardly gutter, In act, it can be quite interesting. How about spiders monkeys swinging through the trees above you?
This is in a very green verdant jungle:

That is a Mayan site. The Maya are amazingly clean, particularly when you consider that they often live in small dusty villages. The women wear a shift called a "huipile".
