HOW WE LIVED

While on the river we had a guide/interpreter (Celestine), a boat driver (Roy), a cook (Dennis) and a bowman and general helper (Dennis). That was just for Judy and I. We also stayed one night in Roy's house, where his sons shyly stared with curiosity at these strange tourists. Dennis cooked over a small fire in an iron pot on the floor of our hut. We mostly ate sago, which is sort of like peta bread. I lost six pounds.
