Some of the things I miss most about Tena:
1. The people - I feel so lucky to have made such good river, medical and international contacts all in such a short time. River people are good people, through and through
2. Coco-rons at Araña - think fresh coconut milkshake with rum, the best drink or dessert you will ever have
3. Boating, SO MUCH BOATING!
4. Dodging water balloons during Carnaval
5. Translating for medical things - it gave my trip a little bit of purpose
6. Especial de la tarde at Café Tortuga (cake and coffee) - my list would be incomplete if it didn´t include some food item
7. Watching Canadian shenanigens unfold
8. Our beautiful apartment on the river
9. Guayusa!
10. Late night salchipapas with amazing aji on our way back home from Araña or the disco
I might have to go back. I had to cut the list short because I was beginning to brood, which is never good. I mean yesterday Becca, Adam and I soaked in hot springs and today we climbed a volcano and that is only the beginning of the weekend! Oh, did I mention I am going to the Galapagos in four days? I feel a little better now :)
