Where are you on the Amazonian Continuum?




I've worked my way from 1-5 in a space of two weeks - not bad. Where are you?

Bugs:

1. Cricket...eeek!
2. Does it bite?
3. Spider guarding the path to the loo...No worries, I'll go tomorrow
4. It's so much better Not knowing what's out there (at night at least
5. Cockroach in a pocket in my bag, found when in my tent...whatever

Wardrobe:

1. Ah clean clothes
2. River washing...mostly clean
3. Nothing really smells in the jungle...right?
4. Wearing the wet washing straight off the line (it's going to get wet in a minute anyway)
5. Moldy...just on the side, it's cool

Bites:

1. Please don't bite me.
2. Please don't bite me hard.
3. Hope it doesn't scar.
4. Oh cool - look at this bite.
5. Hope those aren't maggots growing inside - me

Plantains/Bananas:

1. raw
2. fried
3. mashed
4. baked in a fire
5. boiled

  1. you are BRAVE! I love the pictures. i think those are the same spiders i have living in the trees in my yard. golden weavers - they eat mosquitoes, so i tolerate them. please keep me posted if you're planning on passing through florida on your way home (whenever that is)! xoxo Romy

  2. Bugs - hate. Jungle smell - why do I think I would not enjoy that? English - would become my first lang for once, but would it help??? I'd probably die there, I hardly can stand wild beach on the boarder with Albania and that is 5* for what I see ... At the end your photos are really great but your short stories are wonderful - how about writing a book and becoming a mil $ girl when you come back? Or, does the jungle style of life kill the creation? I cannot imagine myself painting there or maybe that could be a "cure" from going completely crazy ... oh, let me think, who said I am not already ... Good luck and thanks for your posts, love it! kisses from Belgrade
