So this week so far...on Sun after going to Puyo went to the river to watch people fishing. I was imagining a few people sitting by the river with robs but it turned out to be a big community event with 30-odd people with huge nets diving in the river- very impressive. Mon went to the Municipial in Puyo (local gov head office) to the Health and Sanitation dept (ooooh exciting) to pick up some videos to organise this health/video evening. Except after waiting for most of the day it turned out they don{t exist anymore - I suppose its a learning experience! Otherwise been doing more work on the water and quality in the community and generally moseying around :-)
School starts next week for the children, and I might run a couple of activities there. Not sure if that could be rather hard work though...
Last night watched a film in one of the houses with a DVD player (oh yes). Just like home, except for the big bowl of roasted salted ants being passed around rather than popcorn. Spent some time with Lillians aunt while she made chicha, and realised that it is indeed made by women "masticating" (chewing lots) the yuka before spitting it back in and letting the whole lot ferment for a few days before drinking. Mmmmm.
Going to Banos this weekend for a mini-break - its supposed to be pretty with lots of waterfalls and toursity things. And possibly even hot water, you never know.
