Peke-peke to Pucallpa from Calleria with Roger and Elva.
5 am departure, "ya es dia."
A couple hours hunting motelo, searching for fruit trees with fresh fruit on the ground of the sort motelo likes, finding uneaten fruit, finding week-old motelo scruff-trail emerging from a treefall tangle, but no tort. Agusto is thirsty, no water bottle, chops una de gato for a drink of clear tasty water. Agusto wears a thick Nike hoody for skeeters.

Shipibo embroidery, some on clothed dyed with bark and clay. Lots of women make these and eventually bring them to Pucallpa for sale to tourist shops. They also make skirts for themselves in these patterns. Experienced artists generate their own designs, we never saw a pattern repeated on another piece. We purchased a bunch in Calleria.
Roger chops coconuts for Elva and the girls.
