After an epic comedy of errors involving missing the boat to Requena, hiring a cargo boat to take us and try to catch up, frantically waving down the driver, and then boarding the boat with all our boxes of medical supplies and bags of food and backpacks while both boats were still moving, a 12 hour journey that mostly involved every single child on the boat standing in our doorway and staring at us, and just in general making a giant scene, we finally arrived in Requena.
A new friend from the boat invited us over for lunch with his family, who own a "nightclub" (their living room with a stereo, one purple light on the ceiling, and two posters of naked girls on motorcycles). They killed both a chicken and an armadillo for us. Without even knowing it was my anniversary!
There are no ATMs here and cash is limited so I´ll be updating once a week or less. . . happy valentine´s day!
