Supposedly we were going to make Ayahuasca today, but I guess we didnt have the materials to make it so after breakfast Blake and I went on an hour long canoe ride on our own down river. We turned back early because neither ofus brought a hat or water and it was quite hot.lunch was ready when we got back and just as we finished eating 10 new people arrived. We waled passed them saying hello as walked off into the jungle with the rain starting to pore down. We stayed in the hut and I finished reading Psychology of the Transference and then starting listening to Steve Martins self narrated autobiographical audio tape, Born Standing Up. Blake then started reading the transference.At 6:30 just when the rain stopped we strolled back into camp and joined the new people for dinner. There was an American family of 3, a German, belgian, Brazilian, Brit and 3 Peruvians. We told them why we were there and the conversation turned over to the ayahuasca, the psychedelic realms and then all of our travels before arriving and our plans for the near future.When dinner was finished Blake went outside to return to our hut and Wilder warned him to be careful of snakes, Blake turned to him and said, "you mean like this snake right here?" Pointing to the ground right next to the steps he was about to go down where there was a black snake with yellow and red stripes. Wilder looked over the side and then at Blake, "yeah.., this snake can kill you in 2 hours." He said. With that, Wilder assigned a guide to take us back to our hut through the woods. No Ayahuasca was drank today.
