Caracarai - gone fishing!


On the weekend Lice took Matthias and me to Caracarai, where her friends, Tia Maria and Tio Leo have a small weekend house right on the Rio Branco. They picked us as well as a lot of food and drinking water up at a little port and off we went to spend the weekend fishing, swimming and relaxing. They called their place "Sitio Terapia" and it definately is a therapy to stay there. We went fishing in the morning (even I caught some!), had fresh fish for lunch and dinner and slept in hammocks right next to the river.
An indio couple from Guyana are living on the site and are looking after the place when Tia Maria and Tio Leo are not there. Their little daughter Alessandra kept us all entertained - she already knows how to fish, she eats fried fish with head and spines and beats the dog up if he doesn't behave. She was a bit shy at first but then fell in love with Luciano - and the cameras. She always tried to steal them from us to look at the pictures we took from her ;-)
