We didn’t get to go to the jungle but we got to go see Siete Tinacas (Seven pitchers). There are layers of falls with wide pools that look like big urn style pitchers.  We hiked up to the top and back down.  I about fell off the mountain running after Ken Lovell (BMM Missionary at Santa Tomas, Peru).  At one point I had to pull myself straight up by a root.  The hike was very rewarding.

We saw a huge apasanca (leg bearer) spider.  This one is about 5 inches.  I got a really big picture of it.  Ken saw it right after we had walked through several webs. (picture taken 06/07/02)

Changing Tire

June 3rd.  Was finishing dishes when a call came from Ken Loveall, BMM Missionary at Santa Tomás. 2 flat tires 5 ˝” from center to center. In Coyabamba, Past Tinko.    Ken asked that somebody stick them on the bus or send them with one of the Jovenes.  After some investigating we learned that Coyabamba was about 4 hours away (about 4 hours this side of Santa Tomás) As soon as Andy got back things swung into action.  He began taking tires off one of the vehicles, and loading the other for a trip.  We took food, water, sleeping bags, tires tools, and flashlights.  We made the trip.  It was long but we did it.

Cristo Blanco. A statue donated by the Palestinians in 1944 (interesting).  It overlooks and guards the city from behind a barbed wire fence.  Catholicism can't have the people getting to Jesus
