Hello, I ‘m Cullen, this is my blog. I’ve been sharing this blog with Oma (my grandma).

Here is my latest adventure…

DAY 1

We left  Tarapoto in a car headed to Yarina at 5:30 a.m. with Eber, Edison, Alec, Pool,  Javen, Dad and I.  We got there about at 10:00.  Dad went to find a boat wile we sat and did nothing.  When he came back  we ate a quick lunch then got in our boat and set out to the chiporana.

In about five hours we got to the first village dos de Mayo.  We walked in and shook hands with the believers.  Eber said that he wanted to go swimming so we went for a quick dip then the brothers invited us to eat dinner after dinner we went right to the open air meeting we sang in English and Alec gave his  testimony and they put the movie fireproof on.

Then we hopped a  boat to the next village in the dark . When  we got there we knocked on a door set up our tents in their living room and went to sleep.

DAY 2

When we all woke up we walked to a different house and ate dolphin for breakfast.  Then I wandered around town and talked to some people and took  a rest  until lunch time when we ate chicken soup with the believers.  After that we  played soccer. A tie game.  After that we all  went swimming I swam across the river or better said  I waded.  Well as soon as we got out we went to see a guy that always walked in circles.  As soon as it got dark  we started the meeting dad shared the beliefs of the jungle and compared it to the Bible.  Sang in English again when it was over we went to a guy’s house to eat then we went back to our tents to sleep.

DAY 3

The next morning we ate doncella for breakfast then said bye to the believers then got in a boat to Leche (milk).  On the way we pick up some masato yum. (a drink that I will tell about later)  Anyway when we got there it was lunch time and we ate carachupa or armadillo then we played soccer with a coconut and a jump in the river cooled me off.  Then to the open air here we watched facing the giants with the whole village.  After the open air meeting we ate in a brothers house some chicken soup. Then we all went to bed knowing about the long walk the next day.

    Hey Cullen,
    It was fun to read your posts and I envied the soccer game you played… Fun. So what does dolphin taste like? I have not had the pleasure of such a delicacy! I will look forward to reading more posts! I’ll show these to Kyla tomorrow. Have fun with your grandma and grandpa visiting. Very cool for you.
