a week in treehouse making in the jungle can be a long time. This time last week i was, to be frank, shitting myself about how this project was going to turn out. Today we have run out of wood and are well òn the way to finishing the structure. The week has been busy and incredibly hard work, carying 6 meter lenghts of wood that is so heavy it sinks up the side of a mountain is about as bleak as it sounds. It has been worht it though, to see the tree house take shape has been really rewarding. We have had good help this week, firstly by a great guy called gaetan, he really got theproject kick started and then later by the workers of Las Pozas. We have the first floor completed and the structure of the second floor ready for decking. the ecound floor is what we are most proud of, its maye a 100 feet of the river below, the veiws in both directions are just mind blowing. We have been so lucky to get to build something where we have, in England they would have just laughed at us, the health safety people would have just freaked. It feels safe and secure but you definetly need to have a head for hights. I know that pictures have been repeatedly promised and as yet still no pics, i think it may have to be next week now, best things come to those who wait.
The time is coming to an end and this is sad. Have met some incredible, beautiful people and have felt really welcome and at home here. The experince has felt like some strange dream and i think it will be a while before what we have done here sinks in.
more news soon but for now, good bye
