E. Carrelan 1967 Journal Catalogue 62 Rep de 4 Km N, 3.5 Km W of mouth Rio Luguesa, Darwin Prov, Parau Sept 27 I didn't notice. Ate the bread, valence cheese we brought and drank the water which we carry in chlorax (plastic) bottles. The river water is very brown. When we run out of creoles we will use the river with halazone. We arrived after having driven (full speed) for hours. We stopped at their farm, parked our 4x4 (because it has a motor) and six people drove up to their house. The banks are all muddy but they never get this just as dirty as the Gringos. Everyone goes bare foot - I have trouble getting used to it even though it looks cleaner soft. We skinned the and let it soak in the river so the fish would eat some of the meat. Since it was raining anyway (hard) we decided it would get dry very fast so we experimented. The houses (1 large room) are one-story and have no wells - just rods. They (we) sleep on wooden floors. There are 2 families live so there were 3 little tents & 2 mosquito nets. For some reason they laughed when we were putting them up. Their tents you can see through & noticed one person per tent (not) the entire family uses one. For dinner we had fried plantains and
