Day 21: "Shackles"

Day 21: Monday, July 19, 2010
It’s been a refreshing time relaxing and gearing up for the next jungle trip.

The team from Baltimore arrived late tonight. It’s mostly young people, some are Chinese, Korean, etc too. So it’s looking like it will be a fun trip. We’re actually going further up river than I’ve been the past 2 times, so I’m interested in seeing what the differences and/or similarities are between villages/terrains that far up river compared to others I’ve been to.

Apparently, “Shackles” is a universal Christian mission trip choreographed dance, because this team has their own dance. I have to admit, though, that it doesn’t compare to ours. After dinner at the base, the team decided to go out to Long Fug to eat again so a few of us went with them just to hang out. Finally some Southern company has joined me! Two of the guys are from the South: John is from New Orleans and Mark is from Florida (which I don’t usually consider Southern, but in Peru it’s close enough). I felt like home when they said, “Y’all” or wore a Bass Pro hat. Haha.

So tomorrow is my last jungle trip. Ambivalent about that fact.
