Tena Life

We arrived in Tena yesterday afternoon. We got to the hostel to find all of our friends from the states, including Freakystick, Scout, Rob and Jay. On the bus we met a nice woman from Denmark who has been joining us at the hostel. We started the first night in Tena off right by doing a night rafting run on the Juetenyacu River. There was a full moon out and the weather was wonderful. It was a fairly mellow class 3 run, and an awesome time.

This morning we loaded up and headed to the Upper Misahualli River. Twelve gringos and one Ecuadorian all crammed themselves and their boats and gear into one truck and trailer and headed to the river. It was definitely a sight to see driving through the little town. Once at the put-in we all split into groups and headed down the river. It was a wonderful warm up for me, and a nice class 3-4 run.

Tonight starts off the Napo River Festival which should include lots of dancing and a little drinking... Gotta run...
