Boat to San AntonioPraise the Lo
rd! We did finally get to go upriver to San Antonio with Key Zu and Carly. Carly had been there 5 years ago and wanted to reconnect with the people and introduce them to Key Zu. The river ride was not overly easy, there were times the boat had to be pushed over sand or rocks, but we made it without too many problems. The first night we stopped at Maranatha and slept. On day 2 we headed up the Yanayacu River. Once we reached the rapids on the approach to San Antonio we had to get out and walk. It was just too dangerous for us to be in the boat over the rocks.

During these days, Ken and I were invited to go meet the authorities of a nearby village, San Lorenzo. It is only about a 20 minute walk from San Antonio (if it's not muddy). We were able to spend time with them and then we were taken to a cascading waterfall nearby by dugout canoe and walking. It was really beautiful. They are interested in taking tourists there. Well worth the trip.

We got back to Yurimaguas tired, but happy to have been in the jungle as always.

I loved the waterfall picture! We are looking forward to seeing you both soon. We are praying for all the details of your return trip, that everything will go smoothly. I know it's always difficult leaving your family there in Peru-but we'll be happy to have you back for a bit. Take care and see you soon! Lots of love from the Nelsons
