Again, I spent the morning reading many, many articles, then jumped on the back of the motorcyle to run errands, this time carrying a huge briefcase full of camera equipment. It's a good thing I was a gymnastics prodigy and have good balance. I also went shopping for motorcycles/dirtbikes for our teams in the rainforest, but we are still deciding between Japanese and Chinese models.
Tomorrow I will be heading to Tena, and then to Puyo on Thursday. They are both rainforest communities, and where our teams are located. I am excited to see the communities I will be working in. I'll be moving to Archidona (a small town 15 minutes north of Tena) next weekend, and am looking forward to settling into a new "home".
Who knows what day three of work will bring...
I'm glad they are putting your prodigious motorcycle knowledge to use.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I love any mention of your former days as a gymnastics prodigy.
Well Laura, not many people can put "motorbike buyer" on their resume and have it refer to a legitimate work duty... Congrats! Paul and I wish you safe travels to your new home!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Matthew. I road some Chinese motorbikes in Thailand. Far inferior.
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is ---if you are on a motorbike there can not be to many chickens riding with you!!!! I am with Matt Japanese would be best. Be safe, be happy, love m
