4 Km N. 3.5 Km NW, mouth Rio Yuguesa, Dairen Prov., Panama
are long, this painful and hard to get out. We
wore the Indian shoes - too big for me (causing
blisters when squeezed) & too small for Peter.
The water was from ankle to knee deep most
of the time. The insects were bad only if one
held still. We crossed several streams that
were far enough away from the log we
walked on to make me a little nervous but
guide hardly broke his stride. Amazing people.
The forest was dark. Several palm species.
We went to the place where they cut the Centro
Sejinaosa for their piragua. It was + 150 feet
high. The guide shot it and I3 met carried it to
the river. Amazing. We shot #607 & 608
(fairly close to one another).
In the same area we shot #609
#610
#611
Right on the border of the
rice fields & the forest our guide shot #612.
The old man got #613
with a machette. While
we were in the forest, the Indians caught
by hand #614
& 615.
We went to lunch & all went back to the house
because the clouds were full about to rain. While
carrying the piragua I should marvel at how the
Indians could carry (raw food) 100lbs each?!
