Go fish!

Sunday, June 27th
Sophie and I took a flight from la Paz to rurrenebeque - amazon basin. The flight was a quick 30 min ride plus a 30 min minivan ride. This was the much more convienent and time efficient option since the other way to get there is an 18+ hour bus ride. The flight and ride was a snap. We found an amazing hostel stright away. Our hostel sits on the river that borders the jungle. The entire hostel is open air. It's made of bamboo, thatched roof and has beautiful stone arches that line the whole building. Sophie and I then went to lunch after getting settled. We had the most AMAZING fish lunch ever!!! I had a local trout roasted with garlic and herbs. Sophie had a fish soup that somewhat resembled sweet and sour cabbage soup. Both meals were incredibly edible!!! After our satisfied bellies were beyond full, we walked around town and booked an amazon jungle pampas (river boat) trip for 3 days/2 nights. Sophie also had some friends who were in town and were going to join us in the amazon - Willem (holand) Jos (holand) and Ville (Finland). It would be a great adventure! The five of us enjoyed a great dinner together and shared some great laughs. After dinner, we watched inglorious basterds in an open air "theater" with the full moon glowing bright behind the screen. If tonight is a predictor of the next few days to come...it's gonna be a good time with our new friends.
