Arrival in Iquitos

Today Rob, my small group leader, picked me up from the airport in Iquitos and we took a motor taxi to the base. The motor taxis consist of a motor cycle that was converted to have two wells in the back with a bench seat. They are how everyone gets around town and they are really cheap. There are some cars but mostly motor cycles. My DTS does not start untill monday so i just helped out fixing stuff up around the base. I got to know some of the staff and interns, there are a few students here already but most of them are comming tomorrow. I think that i packed to much. The area we live in is limited in space so i do not have enough room for my clothes. I will just have to learn to live with less but that is not a problem. The language barrier is tough so pray for me that i learn spansh fast, love Christopher.
