Where I stayed

Kurtz Lodge (The name of our house, read Heart of Darkness)

Flag of Guyana Port Kaituma, Guyana
Saturday, September 1, 2007

Home sweet home for 7 months, this mining town lost in the tropical rain forest was where I learned to live with limited electricity and running water. All the while, I was privy to every form of degradation and flaw mankind has to offer. But there was hope in the form of my 5th grade class, who I hope I taught enough reading to that they may someday escape the cycle of ignorance and violence which serves as the town's only reliable feature. May the Brits and Rob stay strong.
