This building was destined to be one of the tallest buildings in Iquitos, which still didn't make it all that tall, maybe 15 stories. Word on the street was the builders had gotten this far when it was discovered they didn't have the right zoning or building permits or something to that effect. Know its shell haunts the city.
I liked Iquitos, especially the Iron House, the very one made by none
other then Mr. Eiffel, the one who made the tower in Paris. I had eaten
for the first time Pirana Roia, it was delicious, except for the many
bones, and the fish wasn't all the big once you cut the head off,
although the teeth looked like a baby sharks', dead and unpleasing. I
had caught a few fishing, if there was a secret to that. I used a stick
for a fishing rod, and tied a string on it with a semi-big hook, and
put a big piece of meat on it. Then when the fish takes hold of it, the
Pirana that is, he doesn't chew it, or even bit into it like other
fish, he rips it outward, and so at first touch, the fisherman has to
yank it upward to hook the fish right under his upper teeth. He had a
big low jaw, but a small upper portion to his head so if you do not do
this he will not be hooked. Actually you may hook his upper teeth for
they extend out as do the lower ones.
