Alfonsina Storni in Yurimaguas

We arrived in Yurimaguas a few days ago, after not having slept at all the night before in Tarapoto. We are living with 20 girls and a nun, and a basque priest. I get the feeling the nuns are pretty revolutionary. We were up all night with the girls who were teaching us traditional Peruvian dances, which involve a lot of jumping. We´ve been getting adjusted to everything before we start teaching the class.
First lesson: Yo Soy. where we´ll be reading Alfonsina Storni
Crossing the river Huallaga, a man in a truck yelled, {wellcome to the capital of heaven{- We ended up jumping in the river, and im glad we could not see underneath us. The currents in the Amazon are very strong, and things you didnt know exist live underneath the water. There are tiny parasitic fish that swim up the vagina, so thats not cool.
Being here made me realize why ive chosen these specific places to spend my time in, in Latin America. I dont care for cities at all. Like in the Amazon, and in Tacuarembo, near the border of Brazil where ill be, its these areas that sustain the entire country, and its where culture is the most alive, the most concentrated, not the other way around.
