Sunday June 22

Yesterday we were preparing to leave. We packed and got ready to go to the barge. By then we found out we would be on a public barge, but I didn't know what that meant. So Chase and I got into a motocarro and we were driven to the barge. Oh my...through a huge mob of people, then we just stopped in the middle of it. I desperately looked around for a person that I knew. Miranda (a translator) told me to get onto Eduardo VI (the name of the barge). We are on the third level in a pool of hammocks. It is beautiful on the river! Hay una cocina, a place to eat, benches, bathrooms, and showers. Also...mirrors (weird). We haven't had those anywhere yet. Well, we didn't leave for another 5 hours....which seemed really long and boring. We ate dinner and went to bed at 10.
I had night watch at midnight. It was really scary. It was dark and I was watching for creepy people trying to steal our crap. It freaked me out every time a person came upstairs and walked around. I couldn't wait for the hour to be over.
