Marlene was able to talk with Cho today. He is in Satipo at the moment, tomorrow he is going to Kimbiri. Because I have figured out a way to San Francisco (Kimbiri is not far and across the river) so he has no problem meeting me in San Francisco. Tomorrow he will go to Kimbiri, spend a couple of days there trying to find more than one option for the boat renting, and also will go to San Francisco, to see if he can find a boat there as well.
Meanwhile I have been able to post some ads on local bulletin boards for people looking for a similar adventure. Not optimistic about finding anyone, but everyone I talk to says I am out of my freakin mind but they wish they could go.... Timing, the time, the right shots, and money are the big problems but no one is real serious. It would be nice to have another gringo along and to share the expenses as it appears Americano = raise your fee!
Jay leaves tomorrow. :( The both of us have been sick, Jay more than I. Thanks to Dr. Feehery we have been able to kick the bug and now just have colds to deal with. Even with being sick, it has been great to have him along and see some of the great wonders of Peru.
There are a lot of tempting attractions here to do, e.g., Condors in Colca Canyon, but I am resisting until I have the rivers completely figured out. So my focus remains on the headwaters of the Amazon and I may not have the time or the money for a side trek.
It is fun to type this because the computers are set up for Spanish, most of the words show they are mispelled, except words like ¨gringo¨.
I also hope this blog is a means to know what happened last if I disappear. :)
Vos vamos!
