TRUE


I don't have any photos for this .Wish I did as it was and is an exciting time from my life.In 1991 I was contracted to watch some aircraft in Brazil.As it was I had to go to the jungle part and the Brazilian bosses loved to leave me there.I guess they thought the stupid gringo would panic and need to get out.But I was in love not only was I away from all but it was a calming effect on me.But you could see other workers just waiting to go home.I was in the jungle once for 110 days straight.And the most I saw anyone there was 21 days.
However there may have been some that stayed longer but where i was that was not the case.
We lived on a boat in a tributary to the west of Manaus's about 880 kilometers maybe more.No roads at all then.You can find the place on Google maps.Look for URUCU or something like that.Imagine every day waking up and sitting in the jungle just watching the river flow by .What a sight.More on these adventures to follow
