Good god....this is what it feels like to cook from the inside out!

Well, things have been interesting!  Corico was beautiful.  Great, wonderful, green, amazing views right from my little dark room.  As soon as I walked outside my room I was starring into a canoyn with birds and butterflies galore!  I took some hikes (well to the store was one) and kept a low profile.  Really enjoyed the town.  I decided to come over to Rurrenabaque for a papmas (jungle type) tour.  Haven´t booked it yet but I may just be suckered into doing one from my hostel out of pure lazyness. The ride here was, well, something.  Aside from the screaming babies or the 6 kids with what seemed to be 47 hands grasping at everything right behind me, it was an awe inspiring trip.  Bus was about 3 hours late so I got a good layer of sweat from waiting then added grime from the dust cloud surrounding our bus for the first hour!  BUT after everything settled down it was breathtaking.  Crazy 100ft drops inches from our tires ending at a beautiful sometimes blue, sometimes green river.  Mountains climbing another 100 feet up on the other side of the bank filled with every color or green in vines and trees.  Giant or colorful birds (not both :) A storm was raging and although there was some rain I think we avoided most of it.  What was mesmorizing about it was the lightning.  It continued all night. Complete darkness until a bolt spread like fingers across the sky.  Only then you could see the difference between the mountain tops, sky, and cloud formations.  It was hard not to try and sleep with one eye open.  We got stoped at a few police check points, at which point I was fondled by one of the cops posing to look for marijuana.  Good times.  Actually no, f u buddy, f u.  I know one day a condor will poo in your eye, maybe both, while walking near a cliff. And that makes me happy.
So, now I am here, in ´Rurre¨and sweating like a pig.  Unconditionally!  The hostal I am staying at is right along the river, has hammocks both in the room and underneath the hanging :)  I can see myself with a book, beer, hammock, dog and maybe one of these chickens running around very soon.  Well, before I turn into a puddle of sweat!  The people who run it are very sweet and enderring.  Not sure how long I can afford to stay here, I have about 3 months worth of things I want to do in Bolivia and it is alread the 18th!  Very glad Bolivia is such a small country :)
Hope you are all doing well and miss you!!!!
No pics this time, sorry, forgot the connection.  Close your eyes and imagine beauty. There! You´re here!
