| The white puffs are nests of communal spiders |
Last Wednesday I was invited to do
a freight run into the delta. Many of the lodges are fly-in only. The small
aircraft are too small to take heavy loads, so large supplies need to be
delivered by boat while the floods are here and before the water gets too
shallow. Our mission was to deliver fuel to one of the tourist lodges that is
deep in the delta.
We left Wednesday, were hosted by a
lodge one night, and camped ON THE WATER in the middle of a lagoon the next
night. It was so incredible. We tied up to reeds in the middle of the water,
bundled up (it was so cold), and cooked with a gas stove on the boat. As I
wrote in my journal: “We watched shooting stars on the water. We didn’t look at
the milky way, we looked at its reflection in the still water. Oh it was so
beautiful! How do I take it all in?”
