Moge
Ran several miles up the Moge River to the village. This is a jungle river and the channels are confusing. Lots of exotic plants and birds on the shore, saw my first Toucan. When we reached the village, one of the locals who came with us from Pta. Patino  went ahead to negotiate our stay. We had planned to camp at the landing but they would have none of it. We walked into a beautiful village and were shown a large pavilion-like elevated palapa (tambu) with a balsa log staircase. They have not had visitors for two years and want to be hospitable, I guess.
The children are playful for the most part but some watch us quite seriously. I blew up a balloon and let it float over the side and down to the ground. The kids went after it, of course, but then they brought it back and carefully put it back with the rest of my things.
