Bus Ride to Military Compound

After some ridiculous half spanish half swahelli language coming out of my mouth to the bus driver - we figured out when to get off. We landed on a Military compound with nothing but jungle on either side of the road - animals just lurking- the video is great - felt like Jurassic park without being in the SUV´s.

We arrive at a desolate box office booth out of The Hills Have Eyes pay1 Reales which is 50 cents and Jessie darts off into the complex. BUT this time I start the video camera. This is the third time this guy has bolted to a bathroom. Lets call it a shithole. It was rancid. To top it all off they didn´t have toiletpaper. The video is priceless.

We saw a jaguar in heat, some boa contrictors swimming - crazy anaconda and a sleeping sloth- of course the traditional monkeys and birds but whizzed by them - been there done that.

It was sweltering and my face was burning - forgot sunscreen - sweating again. Jessie ordered another coke - I couldn´t resist - had a pepsi - safe.

Coke gets Jesse chatting the whole bus ride back about Thailand and China - Cambodia and some crazy 7 day train ride from Moscow to Bejing.

We pass the slums on the river - just totally sad. Oh did I mention I was carrying a boiling 2 liter bottle of YARA around. By the way Every single American on this trip got the shots :)

I currently reside in a computer cafe set up like the one the lead was in during slumdog millionaire.

Anyway met two married american women who are on a mission in the amazon then to thailand then to africa. They invited me on June 9th to go to a Childrens Aid Center - then to a school to teach english for the day and then some random cultural center. I am definitely going to do that before they leave.
