I am an adventurer. Landing on dirt in the 20-passenger, turbo-prop plane, I had arrived in Guayaramerin, Bolivia (pop. 14,000). As I approached the only "gringos" in the "terminal," I amazed at the large crowd present at this airport waiting area that resembled
a city park - complete with kids running around in the surrounding grassy fields. Beginning to ask questions, I tapped into the couple's thoughts about the town that I had just arrived in. Both were hardcore, granola-type backpackers. The girl was quick to say, "You won't be seeing any other foreigners here during your stay." I commented that I was looking exactly for such. Tomorrow, I will go in search of a guide. I will also discover the possibility of taking a cargo boat to Trinidad. The journey is supposedly four days in length. This would likely be an intensely uncomfortable time but, hopefully, worth the growth and the ensuing story!- Tyler
