Back Pain At 35 Weeks Pregnant

Sambu Rio Arriba!

Rio Sambu belongs to the region's indigenous Embera. From where we can sail up the river for 5 or 6 hours to reach the final of the 6 communities that are in the middle of the jungle. When you have to move through water has the option of paying the special trip (100 $ aprox) but we tried to avoid paying those amounts whoooole asking the people what are the upcoming trips. Thus we learn that a person who told us it was a "government authority" had to climb to Jingurudo, a community near the bottom of the river and instead of 3 gallons ($ 12) came up with him in his canoe. After a quick tour parad and Tiger (another community), we sail for 3 hours to get to our destination. Incredible 3 hour journey surrounded by vast vegetation, with all shades of green with trees protruding from the jungle by their height, more birds and infinite colors and sizes and any other canoe. They then met Hector, who invited us to sleep and spend a few days at home (cabin). Hector has 5 children and the woman went to another so it does not lack work. Are planted in rice and coffee but not enough to feed so many mouths. Once again, we have to sleep on the wooden floor with no mattress and no nothing, just a blanket to avoid mosquito bites and mosquito net. The first day was great because all the people held a conference, meeting and that you allowed this r all day playing with children, throwing into the river, letting go with the flow, seeing snakes, trying to manage the canoe, making jumps and the clown as he could. The children were delighted with many games and with these two white boys who had come so far. Every morning the children appeared at the house, wondering what we would do that day and if we wanted to play with them.
And spent 3 days with them, playing, reading, relaxing, learning and soaking their customs and sharing countless moments that will never forget. On the fourth day, wanted to return to Sambu again to find the only phone available within 4 hours. There is no coverage at any place and possibilities of communication. We needed a phone to show signs of life in one day as special as September 8. (Papaaaaa Congratulations!). We were unable to find anyone to come down, so the closed bags in case we went to the river to swim with the kids when we suddenly saw a man down to row and with the help of the current in a canoe full of fruit. Negotiate co n low to him and we Sambu in exchange for two gallons. What luck again! Not only recall our good times we get, we also carry hundreds of bites all over the cue rpo two insect called a chigger (smaller than a pore of the skin) and Chitra (a flea bastard ...). It's been 2 weeks and still have bites on the body. Upon arrival we were running to the phone booth and had a tail eternal to call so we decided to go to another town called Garachine that half an hour from goat. Upon arrival it was almost 2 am in Spain, so although you may not believe we could not make phone calls. Find a point where people with fair coverage to send a sms. There are still places like this in the world ... there is NOTHING in Garachine. By Serta met the headmistress, who after giving him a little embarrassed, let us enter the computer room of the school and were able to connect to the internet 8 minutes (or another). The only place with internet access in 15 days. In this seedy people spent two nights. It was hell. Could not find anyone to take us to the next destination. Zero movement. And the truth is we had a good dip. Luckily we decided to loosen the paste and pay the $ 60 it cost us the trip to the beach for dead, another undiscovered paradise.
Here are pics that my tastes are incredible! I love them!
We have entertained a ratillo! Uschi and Robert
