Way cool story,,,
Been to Bolivia 3 times so far, but not yet to Rurrenabaque. Perhaps next trip--so much to see and experience--so little time. What a time you experienced--awesome! Bolivia has become my favorite country to visit, and I wouldn't mind living there--everything is so fantastic in almost every sense of the word--from the overwhelming good to the occasional very bad. It is a land of superlatives in the midst of incredible poverty. It is a place where the value placed upon using some measure of common sense could be one's life--a very exciting environment that hasn't been plasticized, macadamized or fenced away,,,yet. Want to look over the edge into the abyss, or hug a caiman?? Go for it--and if you fall or get eaten--it's your own damned fault--with no one to sue afterward--perfect (for my sense of freedom, at least). I love the people, the land and the culture--including some of the best food I have ever eaten, with (often) cut-it-with-a-fork beef that would make many 5-star's envious. Bolivia is the king of sopas (soups, or stews) that are available everywhere. Some towns famous for their BBQ'd pigeons--others for their guinea pigs--all scrumptious when done well. Llamas--similar to venison in taste and texture--are awesome (like venison) when done 'right'. Your descriptions seem to be accurately humorous and enjoyable, and well worth the read. Thank you.

Hater
Enough, geez, in America, we call you "a total hater". How can you judge a whole country by a group of people, need I remind you, you are in South AMERICA!!! What would be a better hat, maybe one that a "bobbie" wears...? Or the guards in front of the Palace? God save the queen. Or how about a fishing hat so I can keep my tea and crumpets in it? Surely you wouldn't need to pack a toothbrush, so maybe your pack will be lighter than mine! Seems to be your first time traveling outside your element, haha, what your ignorant self does not know is that most Americans speak Spanish, so they wouldn't need to "be a di#@khead, waving my arma around" - Jokes on you, "bloody" Hater. Oh yeah, all the books and sites say to fly within Peru. I will be flying, no stinky "Loo" for this American. If you're still there, you will know it's me, I'll be wearing the white visor! xoxox.
