October 1st.

It's over, but it's not over... we completed the shooting and we had a wild, really wild party, everyone was there, everyone.  I made friends with the American kid over drinks... he's really cute and all but I'm really in love with Jan. I don't think he would mind if I made love to the kid ... but I rather not. So we talked and talked.

Jan was very busy, everybody wanted to talk to him and tell him how much they loved working on the film. They all want to be back, of course.

Jan's birthday is coming up, we're going away, a two week vacation to the amazonian jungle, just the two of us. Margot is going to Europe to get some stuff and to see her parents.

I think the two weeks will be wonderful.

October 5th.

I'm at the shores of an spectacular river in the Amazons ... There are trees across the river , very thick trees, like a big wall of trees. The terrain is flat so you can't see beyond the trees. You can only the sky above the reds, yellos and greens of the forrest. The nights are wonderful, full of stars, you can see all of the stars.

It's a very adventurous vacation because we are hitching and walking. The dirt roads are dry so when we take a pick up truck we get really dirty with all the dry soil that trails the passing of trucks and cars.

In one of those nights we were looking for a place to camp and found this nice and flat strip of land, very long, really long, near a river, so we set our tent in the middle of it. Next day, at six in the morning, we hear this guy screaming in Spanish. We get out of the tent and we see this soldier running to us, screaming that we have to take the tent down.

We were a bit perplexed and still sleepy so we didn't really know what to do. He proceeded to pull the tent away to a side of the field, with everything that was inside.

We were a bit upset but then we realized what was wrong. A plane was landing, We had set our tent in the center of the landing strip. We were camping on the airfield.

We celebrated Jan's birthday while camping in the middle of what seemed to me like a square, in a town by the huge river. We set our tent in the middle of the open space. There were some houses around, not many. We felt private in our tent, but Jan believes that peoplo could see us making out.

We had some cheap rum, not very good tasting cookies we got in the village, and chicken legs, or I think they were chicken legs.

October 10th.

We're back in the town where we always go, after a 14 hour ride in a bus. We still have a few hours to go before we reach the city, but we decided to stay here for a couple of days, in a hotel first and then in the cabin. We need to take showers and sleep on a bed.
