We began with lakeside turtle soup, moved on to the old ILV center where we lived for 6 years, met Ronco at his shop on the way back to town, then to a ribbon cutting ceremony at the orphanage where my Rotary Club de Yarinacocha furnished three new classrooms. Severo del Castillo gave a speech about how happy they were to have me and JJ there with them all the way from the USA for this auspicious occasion. The ceremony and interviews will be on Good Morning Peru tomorrow -- channel 5 I think. Just in case you are watching.
Tonight we dine again with my former neighbor Armando. His daughter Susan´s art is AMAZING. I´ll post some and an album about Yarina when we get back to my laptop in Lima.
I can´t even begin to write about all that is happening, but at least this brief record will remind me what to fill out after leaving the Amazon.
Tomorrow evening we have a date with a Shipibo shaman.
Why did I ever leave this place?
We met Andy yesterday -- a perpetual traveller, about 55 but so different from Stephan. He has been to Vietnam, and his description sounded encouraging. Except that the women are bossy there. Well, I´m accustomed to that...
Off to sit and stare at the lake for awhile. You will enjoy the photos JJ is taking.
