We had a nice, clear day for flying.
Banana tree
Bananas
Small plane arriving at Wachirpas,
dropping off a group and picking us up.
(Notice the yellow plants used as markers
along the edge of the runway rather than paint.)
Looking down at the river (and the plane wheel)
The twisting path of the river
(Our window was not as clear as the sky--
the runway was wet and the windows get splattered with mud.)
Signs that we are heading back to the reaches of the modern world.
(roads, clearings, buildings)
Cities
It is amazing to know that even as this modern world exists,
there are still people living as the Achuar do,
at this very moment,
their culture and environment still intact.
Being back home it is hard to believe that their reality exists right now,
just on the other side of the equator.
